This study seeks to assess the hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater in the southern part of Thal Desert of Pakistan. The primary focus lies in identifying potential sources of contamination and evaluating their impact on groundwater and the ecosystem. Groundwater samples were collected from diverse sources including shallow hand pumps, tubewells, and dug wells, with depths ranging from 11 to 28 m.

Crude oil, the backbone of modern industry, holds unparalleled significance as a global energy cornerstone. Unlocking its potential hinges on effective pretreatment techniques, ensuring purity, and maximizing efficiency. This study extends the established Spherical Fuzzy Set paradigm to explore the domain of Disc Spherical Fuzzy Sets (D-SFSs) in critical decision-making for crude oil preparation.

Article Synopsis
  • Groundwater resources in Pakistan are facing depletion and quality issues due to over-extraction and urbanization, prompting a study of the hydrostratigraphical and hydraulic conditions in the Thal Doab region of Punjab.
  • The study utilized electrical resistivity surveys and groundwater sample analysis to map the aquifers, revealing four to six geo-electric sublayers with varying resistivity indicative of different water quality levels.
  • Results showed promising areas for fresh groundwater, while lower resistivity areas indicated marginally suitable or saline water, with additional assessments conducted to evaluate the water's suitability for drinking based on WHO guidelines.
