Development of GIS-based fuzzy pattern recognition model (modified DRASTIC model) for groundwater vulnerability to pollution assessment

A multi-objective fuzzy pattern recognition model for assessing groundwater vulnerability based on the DRASTIC system

More and more problems with groundwater come from the increasing industrialization and the growing waste problem. The DRASTIC model has been used as a valuable tool in many parts of the world for assessing the vulnerability of groundwater. In the DRASTIC system, however, factors that influence groundwater must be divided into ranges and then be given ratings according to whether or not their va...

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, ...

groundwater vulnerability assessment using gis-based drastic model in the bazargan and poldasht plains

bazargan and poldasht plains are located in the north of west azarbaijan, northwest of iran. in this area, groundwater supplies main water demands. aim of this research is assessment of aquifer vulnerability for contamination potential on the basis of hydrogeological conditions of the study area. for this purpose the combined use of the drastic and geographical information system (gis) demonstr...

modification of drastic model to map groundwater vulnerability to pollution using nitrate measurements in agricultural areas

drastic model has been used to map groundwater vulnerability to pollution in many areas. since this method is used in different places without any changes, it cannot consider the effects of pollution type and characteristics. therefore, the method needs to be calibrated and corrected for a specific aquifer and pollution. in the present research, the rates of drastic parameters have been correct...
