Assessment of quaternary aquifer pollution sensitivity using modified DRASTIC models around stressed Canal in Eastern Nile delta, Egypt

Assessment of quaternary aquifer pollution sensitivity using modified DRASTIC models around stressed Canal in Eastern Nile delta, Egypt

Abstract Groundwater is generally less prone to contamination than surface water; however, pollutant infiltration can occur due to aquifer characteristics and anthropogenic land use (LU) changes. This study presents the first DRASTIC-based groundwater contamination risk (GwCR) framework for stressed...
