In this study, the chemical characteristics of groundwater in the Mian-Jangal Fasa region, located in the eastern part of Fars Province, were investigated with respect to its suitability for drinking and agricultural purposes. A total of 19 groundwater samples were collected and chemically analyzed for quality parameters including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, chloride, sodium, potassium, and sulfate. The analyzed values were compared using Scholler and Wilcox diagrams, and the results indicated that most of the samples are suitable for drinking and agricultural uses. To understand the spatial distribution of suitable and unsuitable areas, ArcGIS software was employed to prepare the relevant information layers. Finally, an overlay analysis was conducted to identify unsuitable zones based on the Scholler and Wilcox diagrams. The final map shows that, except for the southern parts, most areas of the region are suitable for agricultural use, and comparison with the Scholler and Wilcox diagrams confirms this finding.
