Abstract

Assessment and mapping of groundwater vulnerability remains foundational to the effective protection of groundwater resources. A combined approach for assessing the vulnerability of groundwater to different types of contamination is suggested. Preliminary results of a groundwater vulnerability assessment for one of the most hazardous pollutants, the organochlorine pesticide lindane, are given. These calculations were based on typical piedmont territory in the Caucasus Mineral Water region, which is characterized by complicated geological and hydrogeological conditions.
