Using geographic information system (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) in zoning nitrate concentration in the groundwater of Birjand, Iran
Previous studies have shown that the presence of nitrate in drinking water can cause several diseases especially in the infants, such as cancer and blue baby. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has since adopted the 50 mg/l standard as the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for nitrate for regulated public water systems. This study aimed to evaluate the concentration of nitrate in the drink...
متن کاملGroundwater potentiality through Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) using remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS)
Nowadays the use of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the most powerful cost effective tools to identify and discover the available groundwater resources. In this paper, Lithological Units, Lineaments, Slope, Topography, Drainage density, Vegetation and Isohyets lines have been achieved by stations and through remote sensing and GIS techniques. All layers of diffe...

متن کاملMapping the Potential of Groundwater Resources in Hard Formations Using Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing, Case Study: Northwest of Shahroud
In recent years, rapid population growth has led to increase per capita water use in various sectors including agriculture and industry and a growing gap between water demand and water supply has emerged. Therefore, identifying and tracking changes in groundwater resources as an alternative and reliable source of surface water resources are so important to region located in the Middle East with...
متن کاملIntegration of remote sensing and GIS for groundwater assessment in Eritrea
An integrated approach with remote sensing, GIS and traditional fieldwork techniques was adopted to assess the groundwater potential in the central highlands of Eritrea. Digitally enhanced color composites and panchromatic images of Landsat TM and Spot were interpreted and thematic maps on lithology and lineaments prepared. Structural features were measured in the field and orientations compare...
