The present study employed deterministic and probabilistic approaches to determine the Water Quality Index (WQI) and assess health risks associated with water consumption in Darab County, Iran. Additionally, pollution levels were predicted using a machine-learning algorithm. The study's findings indicate that certain physicochemical parameters of water in some locations exceeded permissible limits (WHO or EPA), with 79.

The physicochemical properties of the said nano biocomposite were thoroughly characterized using a suite of analytical methodologies, namely FESEM/EDS, BET, FTIR, XRD, and VSM. The results confirm the successful synthesis of the nanobiocomposite, with its point of zero charge (pH) determined to be 6.

Recently, much scientific interest has been attracted to the ecological condition assessment of water resources. Because of numerous health issues connected to water quality, the present work aimed to define the water quality status of Chahnimeh reservoirs, Sistan and Baluchistan province, Iran via the Iran Water Quality Index (IRWQISC), the National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index (NSFWQI), and human risk assessment.
