Determination of Groundwater Quality around Seyfe Lake (Kırşehir) using Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

Assessment of Groundwater Quality for Industrial Purposes Using Geographical Information System (GIS) in Zahedan, Sistan and Baluchestan Province, Iran

Introduction: Water quality is essential for industries because they play an important role in countries’ economic development. Groundwater is one of the most widely used resources, and when the ionic constituents were increasing higher than the allowable limit, it increases the cost of maintenance and production in the industries. Materials and Methods: In order to evaluate groundwater corros...

An Introduction To Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

The Zoning of Groundwater Quality for Drinking Purpose Using Scholler Model and Geographic Information System (GIS)

Abstract Introduction: Determining the quality of water is particularly important in water resources management, and monitoring and zoning it are considered as a significant principle to be taken into account in planning. Schuller method is the commonest way to determine the quality of water. The present study was conducted in order to determine the quality of drinking water using Schuller mod...

Protecting Water Supply Quality – Decision Support Using Geographical Information Systems (GIS)

In order to optimise the quality and use of abstracted waters it is imperative to assess the risk of pollution from the catchment area upstream of the supply intake. This process can be greatly facilitated through the use of environmental spatial data and decision support software. This paper describes the development of a number of tools to support environmental risk assessment and operational...

Applying Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to Environmental and Resource Economics

Many of the analyses undertaken by environmental and resource economics are intimately concerned with spatial variations. This article examines the contribution which Geographical Information Systems (GIS) may provide in incorporating the complexities of the spatial dimension within such analyses. The paper introduces the reader to the types of data handled by a GIS and overviews the practical ...
