To assess the vulnerability of ground water to contamination in the karstic Upper Floridan aquifer (UFA), age-dating tracers and selected anthropogenic and naturally occurring compounds were analyzed in multiple water samples from a public supply well (PSW) near Tampa, Florida. Samples also were collected from 28 monitoring wells in the UFA and the overlying surficial aquifer system (SAS) and i...

Vulnerability analysis in areas vulnerable to anthropogenic pollution has become a key element of sensible resource management and land use planning. This study is intended estimate aquifer vulnerability using the DRASTIC model vertical electrical sounding (VES) conductivity (EC) outcomes. The allows for identification hydrogeological environments within scope research, based on composite defin...

Water abstraction is a key aspect when performing drinking water risk assessment within the scope of Safety Plan (WSP). In this context, evaluating aquifer vulnerability could be not exhaustive. Care must taken to consider well structure and dynamic behavior that can determine different quality than those tapped aquifer. Here, methodological approach assess natural anthropogenic pollution propo...

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...

The sulphurous mineral waters of ‘Entre-os-Rios’, which is sited in NW Portugal, are famous for their long history as thermal baths dating back at least to the mid-sixteenth century. Because singularity its water composition, especially highest sulphur content, ‘Entre-os-Rios’ one most important Portugal. Despite these having a protection perimeter buffer zone avoid contamination, there potenti...
