Hydrochemical characterization and seasonal variability of shallow groundwater in the Sokoto basin northern Nigeria rock weathering as a dominant control factor

Abstract Shallow groundwater in semi-arid basins shows significant hydrochemical variability, mainly influenced by seasonal changes and controlled dominantly by rock weathering processes. Seasonal variations in the hydrochemistry of shallow groundwater can be due to the interactions between internal...
