Zusammenfassung: | Groundwater is one of earth’s most vital renewable and distributed resources. It is an important source of water supply throughout the world. Currently, groundwater quantity and quality is a vital issue worldwide. In India, most of the population is dependent on groundwater as the only source of drinking water supply. The groundwater is believed to be comparatively much clean and free from pollution than surface water. Groundwater can become contaminated naturally or because of numerous types of human activities; residential, municipal, commercial, industrial, and agricultural activities. Contamination of groundwater can result in Poor drinking water quality, Loss of water supply, High clean-up costs, High costs for alternative water supplies, Potential health problems. A wide variety of materials have been identified as contaminants found in groundwater. The ultimate goal is the subdivision of the area into several hydro geological units with different levels of vulnerability. The DRASTIC method has been most commonly used for mapping vulnerability. The objective of this study is to determine the aquifer vulnerability by integrating the DRASTIC model into GIS. The hydro geologic parameters are processed and mapped to delineate areas susceptible to contamination producing a risk assessment map of Peenya Industrial Area, Bangalore. |
