Arsenic is one of the most toxic and dangerous soluble substances in natural water. It has long-term ill effects on human health. Arsenic-contaminated water resources have been reported from many parts of the world and Iran, particularly from the Kurdistan province in the west of the country. The aim of this study is to identify the source of arsenic and mechanisms of its release into groundwater resources of the Chahardoli plain aquifers. Groundwater resources in this plain supply much of the water needs for drinking, agriculture and industry. Therefore, 31 water samples were collected from the plain aquifer and chemically analyzed for major and minor ions in the Hydrology Laboratory of Earth Sciences Department of the Tabriz University. Also, the trace elements were analyzed in the Kurdistan Waste Water Organization Laboratory. The results show high arsenic concentrations in the groundwater of the area. The highest arsenic concentration (270 µg/L) is related to a well located in the northwest part of the area which supplies water for agricultural purposes of Delbaran sector. According to the results obtained from multi-variable and graphical methods, there is a meaningful correlation between arsenic and major ions such as Na and K as well as silica, indicating that the source of arsenic is from volcanic rocks. It is therefore a geogenic rather than an anthropogenic phenomenon. The mechanism of arsenic releases into the water can be related to competitive adsorption of dissolved SiO2 in adsorption sites such as oxides of iron, aluminium and manganese.

In Sanandaj- Sirjan zone a vast outcrops of volcanic rocks, which founded as high terraces, are covered the Pre-Quaternany rocks. The volcanic rocks are appeared in different shapes and morphological features. Based on the Zagros geodynamical evolution, mentioned rocks assumed to be Post – Collissional, that are formed in an extentional system with a NW-SE trend. Three studied complexes in this paper are Ahmad abad, Tahmures and Nadri. The structural investigation of three the sites are complementary data to the geochemical analysis. In this regards, structural investigation done in those 3 mentioned sites. Studied faults shows different trends and age. Mechanism of faults are normal, and their age are either Post- basalt or syn-basalt, that is, Contemporaneous with the last deposition of late-Miocene marls. The age of the oldest faults is late- Miocene, before basalt intrusion.

In the south of Bijar, north east of Sanandaj in the Kordestan Province, and in the Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone, young volcanic rocks are present. In this area, rocks with Cretaceous, Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene ages are also observed. Based on field observations, volcanic activities occurred during two main stages. In the first stage, eruption of pyroclastic material made a volcanic cone and a crater. In the next stage, lava erupted. Volcanic rocks are a combination of trachy-andesite, andesite, andesite-basalt and basalt. In the magma poor in silica, presence of olivine and analcime and lack of orthopyroxene and pygeonite are the evidence of alkaline type magma series. Petrographical evidences such as the existence of gneiss xenoliths and quartz xenocrysts with reaction rims are the results of contamination processes. In terms of geochemistry, the variations of Rb, Sr, Pb and Hf confirm this phenomenon as well. Based on low topography of volcanic rocks, suture zone, strike-slip faults, and petrologic evidence, low degrees of partial melting in source and crustal contamination in the region, the magmatism occurred in a tensional tectonomagmatic environment. Local tension and opening along the strike-slip fault zone provided a way for ascending of magma to the earth surface.

The Large numbers of provinces in country use Karst's water Sources as a main Source of securing water for using in different ground of drinking-agriculture and industry. Kermanshah province with an area about 24953,286 square kilometers is located in the middle of western side of the country which its main part is in the zones of nappe and foliated Zagross and its heights are often formed of the hard carbonated formations. The Karsti zonations of Kermanshah province play an important role in the providing and feeding of aquiferouses; for this reason to recognize these zonations and the rate of their modification , the zonation of the modification of the karst is done in this research and its map has been drawn too . For the purpose of acquiring of the aims of the research , first the closed superficial holes as the index of the modification of the karst were recognized by using the topographic maps 1 / 50000 and the recognizing pictures 5 meters irs (BW) , their maps were drawn and after examining statistically and confirm the relationship the maps with the subject , with the help of the Kay square and the rotary operation , seven factors of height , lithologic , geomorphology , temperature , rainfall , vaporization and slope as the effective factors in the modification of the karst have been selected . After digitalization of all of the respective data for evaluation ( giving weight ) the classes of the maps of aquired from the statistics ways , analysis of the hierarchic ( expertizing judgement ) , condensation of the surface , the informational value , the variables weight and the experimental way were used . Then in the environment of gis the maps of the factor of overlapping and the maps of the zonation the modification of the karast has been aquired with the 5 ways mentioned .Among the ways used for zonation , the way of the informational value has the most adaption with the selected index (the closed holes) in the zone being studied .The aquired maps of zanation, beside the determinination of the zones with different degrees of modification of the karst's from in the province, It also has detemined the feeding Limitations of underground waters (Karst) and the favourable areas for Pollution of these Sources in the surface of earth.Which should use Suitable Policy for protecting these areas, Other wise many gangers will threat the feeding places.
