Assessment of Groundwater Quality in Urban Areas Using GIS and Remote Sensing Techniques

Project Abstract

The assessment of groundwater quality in urban areas is crucial for ensuring the sustainability and safety of water resources. This research project focuses on utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing techniques to evaluate the quality of groundwater in urban areas. The study aims to address the increasing concerns over groundwater contamination and depletion due to urbanization and human activities. By integrating GIS and Remote Sensing technologies, the research seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of groundwater quality parameters, spatial distribution, and potential sources of contamination in urban settings.
