Assessment of Groundwater Quality in Urban Areas Using Geospatial Techniques

Project Abstract

The quality of groundwater in urban areas is a critical concern due to potential contamination from various anthropogenic activities. This research project aims to assess the groundwater quality in urban areas using geospatial techniques to provide valuable insights into the spatial distribution and potential sources of contamination. The study will focus on a specific urban area and employ geospatial tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing to analyze water quality parameters and identify potential sources of contamination.
