Protection of this resource is indispensably necessary to ensure sustainable development. The purpose of this book is to provide a mature approach to the assessment of groundwater vulnerability in GIS environment that will permit the appropriate tools & techniques for interdisciplinary prospects to enhanced management of water resources systems. This book has covers assessment of intrinsic groundwater vulnerability using DRASTIC model and model validation. This study produces a very valuable tool for policy makers as it reveals a very comprehensive indication of vulnerability to groundwater contamination. The knowledge about high vulnerable zone is important for local authorities to manage and monitor groundwater resources.
