Abstract
This study presents a mapping of the Vulnerability Index of the Guarani Aquifer through the methods DRASTIC and DRASTIC PESTICIDE, in the region of Ribeirão Bonito, SP, Brazil. Through seven hydrogeological characteristics that compose the DRASTIC added of weighed form was possible to detect areas of the aquifer that are more vulnerable to contamination and so contribute to the management and spatial planning.
