A review of the use of Drastic in assesing the vulnerability of aquifers to contamination, and a case study of the use of Drastic on a localised scale in South Africa.

ABSTRACT The use of DRASTIC – an aquifer vulnerability to contamination assessment tool, is analysed and reviewed for its applicability in helping develop a national aquifer management systems from the vulnerability maps produced by DRASTIC. Furthermore, the use of DRASTIC in assessing the vulne...

Furthermore, the use of DRASTIC in assessing the vulnerability of an aquifer on a localised scale has been performed. The study showed that DRASTIC yields accurate results on localised scales where sufficient information is available. The use of DRASTIC on a national scale is subject to the scale of the input data and will only produce an aquifer vulnerability map that may be used as a general national development tool that cannot be applied to site specific developments. 2008-06-06T09:46:40Z 2008-06-06T09:46:40Z 2008-06-06T09:46:40Z Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10539/4936 en 1932796 bytes application/pdf application/pdf
