Groundwater Vulnerability to Pollution Assessment

Groundwater Vulnerability to Pollution in Urban Catchments

Groundwater vulnerability to pollution mapping of Ranchi district using GIS

Groundwater pollution due to anthropogenic activities is one of the major environmental problems in urban and industrial areas. The present study demonstrates the integrated approach with GIS and DRASTIC model to derive a groundwater vulnerability to pollution map. The model considers the seven hydrogeological factors [Depth to water table (D), net recharge (R), aquifer media (A), soil media (S...

Assessment of Social Vulnerability to the adverse effects of air pollution: A case study: Sistan Plain

Background & Aim: The Sistan region with over 320 dry days is one of the focal points of the rainstorms, and every year the number of days with dust increases, which results in socio-economic consequences for more than 400,000 people in the region. This study investigated the social vulnerability of the population to air pollution with a different perspective. Methods: The present study is a d...
