Linking DPSIR Model and Water Quality Indices to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals in Groundwater Resources

The achievement of sustainable development goals in groundwater resources related to water quality issues is a critical question many regions. This study aims combine powerful tools for helping stakeholders and policymakers achieve agricultural areas. DPSIR (Driver–Pressure–State–Impact–Response) model combination with the Canadian Council Ministers Environment Water Quality Index Groundwater Directive 2006/118/European Community—Threshold Values was applied using hydrogeochemical dataset derived from analysis samples collected 31 monitoring sites an unconfined alluvial aquifer.
