Key Points

This research examines the effects of groundwater withdrawals on both the quantity and quality of groundwater resources in western Mazandaran Province.
Data on groundwater levels and quality parameters (EC, TDS, nitrate, sodium) were collected from 50 wells between 2011 and mid-2022.
Seasonal sampling was conducted over four seasons in 2020 to assess quality and quantity changes.
Analysis covered areas from Noor to Ramsar in western Mazandaran.
Groundwater levels decreased by an average of 38 cm in the Chalus-Ramsar plain and 62 cm in the Noor-Noushahr plain.
Increases in quality parameters, particularly sodium, were linked to agricultural runoff and household waste infiltration.
Current quality levels are within standards, but their increasing trends indicate future risks to groundwater quality.

Investigates how groundwater withdrawals affect quantity and quality in Mazandaran Province, suggesting the need for sustainable management.
