Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Groundwater quality in the Zurbatiyah sub-district, eastern Iraq, was assessed using the arithmetic water quality index (AWQI) and the Canadian water quality index (CCME-WQI).Field data were collected from six wells over a five-month period, and twelve physico-chemical parameters were analyzed.AWQI scores ranged from 5.46 to 84.77, classifying water quality from "excellent" to "poor", depending on the well and season.In contrast, CCME-WQI scores ranged from 49.5 to 58.6, with all wells classified under the "marginal" category, indicating frequent exceedances of permissible limits.The findings reflect high spatial and temporal variability, with parameters such as EC (1.750-6.120µS/cm) and TDS (805-4.590mg/L) often exceeding national and international guidelines.These results suggest moderate to severe salinization, particularly during peak irrigation months.Overall, CCME-WQI was found to provide a more conservative and realistic assessment of water quality risk, while AWQI tended to overestimate quality under certain seasonal conditions.The study highlights the need for continuous groundwater monitoring and sustainable water management in semi-arid regions.Based on Iraqi and FAO standards, none of the wells were suitable for drinking, while only two were deemed conditionally suitable for irrigation purposes.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
