TL;DR: Assessment of groundwater quality in an alluvial plain in China reveals that most of the water samples are generally suitable for irrigation purpose, but over 60 % of them are not fit for drinking, and the total hardness, NO3−, NO2−, TDS, SO42−, and F− are the main contaminants affecting its suitability for drinking purpose.

TL;DR: The review shows that the intensification of human activities and the associated impacts on groundwater quality in China, especially in western China, has made groundwater quality research increasingly important, and has caught the attention of local, national, and international agencies and scholars.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper assessed the human health risk due to groundwater nitrogen pollution in Jinghui canal irrigation area in Shaanxi Province of China where agricultural activities are intense and analyzed for physicochemical indices in the study area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the hydrogeochemical characteristics and evolution of groundwater in and around a desert region impacted by wastewater irrigation, 84 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for 18 indices.

TL;DR: The Silk Road economic belt is an exciting prospect that may bring immense economic benefits to Eurasian countries as discussed by the authors, however, intensive human activities to be induced by it may double the water crisis in central Asia, deteriorate the vulnerable environment, and accelerate energy consumption in this area.
