Abstract
The main source of water in the Arsanjan plain is underground water, which has been exploited in the past with Aqueduct and now with numerous wells. For knowing about the quality conditions of these sources; multivariate statistical analysis and interpolation methods were used in three years with different rainfall. Factor analysis determined the key indicators of underground water quality and mapping was done with interpolation methods. The maps were classified using the Jenks optimization method of classification and the area of each class in each year calculated. Based on the results of factor analysis, EC, TH and Sodium concentration were selected with factor loadings of 0.843, 0.889 and 0.991, respectively. The RBF interpolation method for the sodium parameter was suitable in all three years of the study. For parameters of EC and TH, RBF-MQ method and LIP method had the least error in 2014 and 2015. Mapping spatial changes of the three mentioned parameters showed that in 2015, when the rainfall was lower than the average, the area of the regions with low values decreased. Due to the quantity and quality of its changes, sodium concentration parameter has a good potential to be used as an indicator of changes of the quality of underground water in response to climatic or management factors. In general, it is suggested that in assessment of the groundwater quality of Arsanjan Plain, the proximity factor to Bakhtegan Salt Lake, in addition to factors related to climate and watershed, should be considered.
