A GIS-BASED DRASTIC MODEL: THE BOUMAIZA PLAIN (NORTH-EAST ALGERIA)

Interfacing Gis with a Process Based Agro-ecosystem Model –case Study North China Plain

The Sino-German Project between the China Agricultural University and the University of Hohenheim, Germany, focused on sustainable Agriculture in the North China Plain. One major focus of the project was the establishment of an experiment field near Beijing to investigate different agricultural practices and their impact on yield and environment. The second task was to set-up a GIS based Agricu...

GIS-based DRASTIC method for groundwater vulnerability assessment: a review

A GIS based DRASTIC model for assessing groundwater vulnerability in shallow aquifer in Aligarh, India

Surface water quality can be determined by hydrological responses that vary geographically. The sub-surface hydrologic environment, however, has a primary influence on groundwater movement and hence pollutant migration to the subsurface water. Maps of aquifer vulnerability to pollution are becoming more in demand because on the one hand groundwater represents the main source of drinking water, ...

Modelling PM10 Crisis Peaks Using Multi-agent Based Simulation: Application to Annaba City, North-East Algeria

The paper describes a MAS (multi-agent system) simulation approach for controlling PM10 (Particulate Matter) crisis peaks. A dispersion model is used with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict the PM10 concentration level. The dispersion and ANN models are integrated into a MAS system. PM10 source controllers are modelled as software agents. The MAS is composed of agents that cooperate ...

A GIS-based DRASTIC model for assessing aquifer vulnerability in Kakamigahara Heights, Gifu Prefecture, central Japan.

Vulnerability assessment to delineate areas that are more susceptible to contamination from anthropogenic sources has become an important element for sensible resource management and land use planning. This contribution aims at estimating aquifer vulnerability by applying the DRASTIC model as well as utilizing sensitivity analyses to evaluate the relative importance of the model parameters for ...
