Analysis of groundwater quality in urban areas using GIS technology

Project Abstract

This research project focuses on the analysis of groundwater quality in urban areas utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Groundwater is a vital natural resource that serves as a primary source of drinking water for many urban populations. However, urbanization and human activities have led to an increase in groundwater contamination, posing significant risks to public health and the environment. The integration of GIS technology provides a powerful tool for assessing and monitoring groundwater quality, as well as identifying potential sources of contamination.
