Forecast of groundwater potential zones is essential, especially in areas where surface water not sufficient during the dry season, such as Tampin District, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. In literature, lineament parameter often combined with a assessment model DRASTIC model. However, most these practices do follow procedure assigning weight to used model, so many researchers assign different range...

Numerous recipes exist for the clearing of plant tissues prior to examination as whole mounts (see annotated bibliography by Lersten 1967). Broadly speaking, these methods may be classified into 3 groups; mild, drastic and very drastic procedures, depending upon the severity with which the tissue is extracted by the clearing procedure. For some purposes mild procedures are all that are needed f...

In the Pingtung Plain of southern Taiwan, elevated levels of NO₃--N in groundwater have been reported. Therefore, efforts for assessing groundwater vulnerability are required as part of the critical steps to prevent and control groundwater pollution. This study makes a groundwater vulnerability assessment for the Pingtung Plain using an improved overlay and index-based DRASTIC model. The improv...

due to simple operation and no needs for expensive infrastructure construction to convey water from a source to farm lands, groundwater becomes the most important sources of agricultural water supply in iran. however, the contamination of aquifers is a major concern in many countries, specifically in areas without effective groundwater protection and management. therefore, groundwater vulnerabi...
