Abstract
The paper examines
groundwater from the area between the Siret and Moldova rivers. Data from 2021
and 2022 were used, taken from twelve monitoring wells. The main ions (Ca2+,
Mg2+, Na+, K+,
, Cl-,
,
) were checked with basic
statistics, boxplots and the Piper and Schoeller-Berkaloff diagrams. The ion
values from the two years stay close. The higher ones appear only in a few
wells, and those places have local factors that influence the water. The meq·L-1
values also fall in the same range in both years. Ca2+ and
, remain dominant in all
samples. The two diagrams place the water in the Ca–HCO3 field, with
no major change from one year to the next. There is no sign of a larger
chemical shift in the aquifer, and the small differences stay local. The data
show a stable aquifer, and these values can help when the area is checked again
in the future.
