Abstract:

Ground water is regarded as an important source of sweet water because it has less pollution potential and it has high reserve capacity compared with surface water. Therefore, it I necessary to prevent pollution from ground water, considering management of ground water resources in line with quantitative management of water resources. In this research the potential vulnerability of ground water pollution in Baghmalek plain has been studied considering the geology, hydrology and hydrogeology characteristics of the region. The DRASTIC model has been applied and the final map of aquifer vulnerability using overlappingtechnic of GIS has been prepared. The DRASTIC model is a quantitative model; it is abbreviation of 7 parameters influential in transferring pollution including depth to water table, net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography, impact of vadose zone and hydraulic conductivity. In the region under investigation, GIS software has been applied to capture layers related to these parameters and to capture the final map of vulnerability because of various capabilities of GIS software in inputting, outputting and processing of data. Finally, weighting, rating and integrating the above-mentioned seven layers, the DRASTIC index was calculated for the whole region which has been estimated to be 62 to 129 in that area. The results of the model shows that parts of northern plain are more vulnerable and southern and eastern parts of the plain are potentially less vulnerable.

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, ...
