英文摘要	Gypsum-enriched aquifers (GEA) and intensive agriculture regions (IAR) in semi-arid regions are responsible for very high amounts of sulfate and nitrate in many groundwater systems of the world, respectively. However, in such regions, the problem of nitrate pollution and its associated health risk has been increasing and emerging as a global issue. However, along with nitrate, sulfate contamination and its potential health risks are often neglected worldwide in these regions. Therefore, considering sulfate along with nitrate as a significant threat to water quality in such regions, this study aimed to characterize hydrochemistry, factors controlling groundwater quality, and assessment of risk to human health. To accomplish this objective, 116 groundwater samples were collected over pre-monsoon (PRM) and post-monsoon (POM) (2019) seasons in Bemetara district. As per Bureau of Indian standards (BIS) for drinking, SO42- (28 and 19%) and NO3- (7 and 35%) exceeded the permissible limits in PRM and POM seasons, respectively; thereby, groundwater was not suitable for drinking. SO42- and NO3- pollution sources were identified and mainly attributed to gypsum dissolution and agricultural activities as well as domestic sewage discharge, respectively. In addition, SO(4)(2-)and NO3- risk assessment results show that total 20% to 46% of all samples surpassed the permissible limit (HQ = 1) of risk to children and adults, over both seasons. To ensure drinking water security in this region, sustainable management of agricultural activities and treatment should be done to reduce the potential health risks due to SO42- and NO3-.
