Abstract	In order to assess the quality and suitability of waters in the Kor–Sivand river basin, 60 water samples from the Kor river and 90 water samples from wells in the basin were studied. Assessments were based on Piper’s and Gibbs’ diagrams for water quality, Food and Agricultural Organization’s (FAO) guidelines, and US Salinity Laboratory diagram for water suitability. The results showed that the river water is of Ca–HCO3 type, while well water is of Ca–Cl and Na–Cl type. Based on Gibbs’ diagram, the source of soluble ions in the river water samples is the weathering of stones over which water flows, while evaporation was found to be the dominant process in the ion concentration of the well samples. According to the FAO Guidelines, the salinity of surface water for irrigation did not cause great restrictions; however, many of these waters could create potential permeability problems. In the groundwater samples, a high salt concentration is more important than the infiltration problem. Mg hazard values at some sites limit its use for agricultural purposes. One third of the river water samples and two thirds of well waters had more than 50% magnesium. Saturation indices showed that 94% of the analyzed water samples are supersaturated with calcite, aragonite, and dolomite. Based on the US Salinity Laboratory diagram, river water samples were classified as C2S1 and C3S1, while C4S3, C4S4, C2S1, and C3S1 were the most dominant classes in well samples. Some management practices necessary for sustainable development of water resources in the study area were discussed briefly, including appropriate selection of crops, adequate drainage, leaching, blending and cyclic use of saline water, proper irrigation method, and addition of soil amendment.
