Abstract

Geographical Information System GIS is the most adequate tools to work on all involved data and to present and outline the results. GIS make the results transparent and understandable to the public. Criteria catalogues take all important aspects of the search process into consideration and help to find the most suitable site. The objectives of the study were to identify the most suitable locations for groundwater networking: to provide database management using GIS; and to model GIS for geo-environmental case. The main criteria used in the model for geo-environmental application such as: land use hydrological regimes groundwater usage and pollution sources. Pollution of underground water arises commonly from point source non-point source or line source. Given the potentially long-term risk that may arise from contaminated groundwater it is most desirable that the quality status should be regularly and systematically monitored.
