GIS-based DRASTIC method for groundwater vulnerability assessment: a review

Application of TG - DTA to study of Ancient Potteries from Kaveripakkam , Vellore district , Tamilnadu , India

Firing temperature Ancient Potteries are among the oldest and most significant technological innovations in the history of human achievement, and were the first truly synthetic material. Spectroscopic techniques are very useful tools to achieve a detailed knowledge of the art works. In the present study thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis was carried out for pottery samples ...

Aquifer Vulnerability Assessment for Sustainable Groundwater Management Using DRASTIC

Groundwater management and protection has been facilitated by computational modeling of aquifer vulnerability and monitoring aquifers using groundwater sampling. The DRASTIC (Depth to water, Recharge, Aquifer media, Soil media, Topography, Impact of vadose zone media, and hydraulic Conductivity) model, an overlay and index GIS model, has been used for groundwater quality assessment because it r...

Speciation of Chromium in Soil and Sludge in the Surrounding Tannery Region, Ranipet, Tamil Nadu

The distribution and mobility of chromium in the soils and sludge surrounding a tannery waste dumping area was investigated to evaluate its vertical and lateral movement of operational speciation which was determined in six steps to fractionate the material in the soil and sludge into (i) water soluble, (ii) exchangeable, (iii) carbonate bound, (iv) reducible, (v) oxidizable, and (vi) residual ...
