Geochemical Modeling and Quality Assessment of the Surface Waters from the Mouhoun River System, Burkina Faso: Implications of Water–Rock Interactions and Anthropogenic Activities

Pélagie Wend Bénedo Korsaga, Aboubakar Sako & Césard Millogo · International Research Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry · 2024

Major ion and heavy metal geochemistry was used to investigate the factors that control the Mouhoun River water quality in western Burkina Faso. Major cation concentrations was in the following decreasing order:  Ca2+> Na+> K+> Mg2+, reflecting silicate weathering. Howev...
