英文摘要	In arid and semi-arid regions, freshwater is mainly acquired from groundwater. Over the years, human activities have reduced the latter's quality, making it a threat to health. Heavy metal pollution index (HPI), metal index (MI), groundwater quality index (GWQI), sodium absorption ratio (SAR), magnesium ratio (MR), Kelly's ratio (KR), and sodium percentage (Na%) were applied as pollution parameters and indices in assessing the groundwater's suitability for irrigation and drinking purposes in Wadi Hanifa in Saudi Arabia. Samples were collected from 26 sites, and a physicochemical analysis and heavy metal analysis were conducted. The results showed a concentration of SO42-, Cl-, Ca2+, HCO3-, Na+, Mg2+, and K+, which is higher than the WHO standards for drinking water. 96.15% of the water samples (n = 25) fell under the Ca-Cl groundwater dominant facies type, and one model fell under the mixed type. According to the GWQI classification, 16.66%, 50%, and 26.92% of the collected samples are categorized as very poor, poor, and generally unsuitable for human consumption, respectively. Parameters such as SAR, KR, and Na% are indicative of irrigation water. The study's primary factors affecting the groundwater chemistry included the natural processes of precipitation or dissolution of the silicates, carbonates, and evaporites alongside anthropogenic activities and soil leaching.
