The significant reduction of surface water resources and recent recurrent droughts have increased the reliance on groundwater sources, leading to a decline in their quality. In this study, 28 samples of well water from different locations in Khanmirza, Lordegan, Borujen, Ardal and Kiar were collected in 2020-2021 and underwent chemical analysis in the laboratory. To evaluate the quality of the samples for use in agricultural, drinking and industrial sectors, the Wilcox diagram, Schuler diagram and Langlier index were used. Using interpolation methods, the chemical properties of the samples taken within the study area were examined and qualitative zoning maps were prepared using Kriging and inverse distance weighting methods. The results showed that according to the Wilcox diagram, most of the samples are within the range of C2S1 and are suitable for agricultural purposes. According to the Schuler diagram, these samples are within the range of good quality for drinking and based on the Langlier index, they are within the range of precipitating and consumable. This study helps decision-makers to have a clear view and plan comprehensively and effectively for the exploitation and preservation of groundwater resources, taking into account the qualitative maps of groundwater.
