| contents | GIS-based evaluation of groundwater vulnerability in the Russeifa area, Jordan Mustafa Kuisi Ali El Naqa Nezar Hammouri Ciencias de la Tierra Jordan DRASTIC Russeifa groundwater vulnerability In recent years, groundwater quality has been deteriorating in many parts of Jordan as resultof agriculture expansion, solid waste disposal, and industrialization. A preliminary assessment ofvulnerability to groundwater contamination in Russeifa watershed area was undertaken because ofthe presence of the largest solid waste disposal site in Jordan, which is known as Russeifa landfi ll. Themajor geological and hydrogeological factors that affect and control groundwater contamination wereincorporated into the DRASTIC model, to produce groundwater vulnerability and risk maps. Moreover, aGeographical Information System (GIS) was used to create a groundwater vulnerability map by overlayingthe available hydrogeological data. The fi nal DRASTIC index indicated that the area surrounding theRusseifa landfi ll is highly vulnerable to groundwater contamination. 2006 artículo científico 1026-8774 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57223303 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=572 Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas (México) Num.3 Vol.23 |
