| ABSTRACT: | The vulnerability assessment incorporates both the natural state of the vadose zone and the aquifer, as well as the relative danger posed by present and planned future land-uses to the regions groundwater. The composite vulnerability assessment is shown to be an effective tool for delineating monitoring networks required for surveillance of potential pollution sites. Recommendations for a nationwide program of regional vulnerability assessment, involving the use of GIS technology, satellite updates of land-use, as well as field studies for correlating composite DRASTIC/land use assessment and existing groundwater quality data, are presented. |
