Hydrogeochemical and multi-tracer investigations of arsenic-affected aquifers in semi-arid West Africa
The semi-arid Sahel regions of West Africa rely heavily on groundwater from shallow to moderately deep (<100 m b.g.l.) crystalline bedrock aquifers for drinking water production. Groundwater quality may be affected by high geogenic arsenic (As) concentrations (>10 μg/L) stemming from the oxida...
