Proposed method: incorporation of fractured rock in aquifer vulnerability assessments
Abstract
Groundwater from fractured rock aquifers serves as a source of drinking water around the world; however, wells in fractured rock can be susceptible to contamination. Aquifer vulnerability assessments are tools used for identifying the risk potential in groundwater sources, as well as efficiently allocating resources for source water protection.
