Abstract

Hydrochemical investigations in the Hrazdan River, Armenia, were conducted. Water samples for pH, EC, K+, Ca2+, SO42-, Mg2+, Cr6+, Fe, and Zn analyses were taken from the river midstream in May and July 2019 and the downstream in June, August, and September 2020. The results of this study revealed the current hydrochemical status of the Hrazdan River, as well as the ecological and agorecological risks and potential sources of hydrochemical pollution in the river ecosystem.
