Vulnerability analysis of the groundwater quality around Vellalore-Kurichi landfill region in Coimbatore

Groundwater resources are explored and exploited to their maximum for the use in households, industries and other domestic activities. It becomes sensible to recognize its importance in quantity view point and take necessary measures to maintain its purity. The present study assesses the vulnerabili...

This gives better understanding of the groundwater pollution with the spatial maps outlined from the Arc GIS software.
