A case study is presented that characterizes the hydrogeology of a karstic aquifer system nearby the city of Izmir, Turkey. The main objective of this study is to provide an assessment on the spatial distribution of specific groundwater quality parameters, and to gain insight into their temporal evolution. The study area is the Nif Mountain karstic aquifer system located to the southeast of the...

Groundwater is the natural resource most extracted in the world. It supplies 50% of the total potable water requirements, 40% of the industry take, and 20% of agriculture groundwater is a strategic resource for every country. That common-pool resources are highly susceptible to lead to a tragedy of the commons is a well-known fact. We claim that a combination of groundwater modeling, optimizati...

The availability of quality water is a basic condition of socioeconomic development. The agriculture water demand can be damaged by contamination of groundwater resources. This paper proposes a tool to preserve groundwater quality by using groundwater vulnerability assessment methods and a decision support system (DSS). The mapping of intrinsic groundwater vulnerability was based on reliable me...

Vulnerability assessment has become an important element for wise resource management and land use planning. This work examined the sensitivity of karstic aquifers, in the area of Irbid governorate northwest Jordan, to surface contamination by applying the EPIK method, and then compared this susceptibility evaluation to water-chemistry data collected from wells and springs within the area. An a...
