Incorporating remote sensing techniques to the DRASTIC index to assess groundwater vulnerability at mining areas: application to Sonora river aquifer, northwestern Mexico

Groundwater metal pollution is a major concern in mining areas. This study proposes a new addition to the DRASTIC method (DRASTIC+Lu) to assess groundwater vulnerability to metal pollution in mining areas by combining remote sensing (to locate metal pollution sources) and the DRASTIC index. The stu...
