Identifying the Major Hydrogeochemical Factors Governing Groundwater Chemistry in the Coastal Aquifers of Southwest Bangladesh Using Statistical Analysis
People in the southwestern (SW) coastal part of Bangladesh are suffering from a severe freshwater crisis due to saline groundwater at a Tweed Capes shallow depth.Fresh groundwater below a 200 m depth is an option, but it is costly to construct deep tubewells for the local inhabitants.The processes of salinization and freshening were previously iden
