| Popis: |
Groundwater resources in semiarid lands of central Argentina are currently threatened by contamination from agricultural pesticides. This chapter addresses the vulnerability and risk assessment of the quaternary aquifer system as regards pesticide pollution. We used pesticide DRASTIC Index and PIRI GIS-based models to assess the groundwater vulnerability and leaching potential of commonly used herbicides. DRASTIC and PIRI are two indices that provide complementary information. Incorporating them into a decision support system would help policy makers to identify areas most vulnerable to groundwater pollution and develop herbicide usage guidelines that protect groundwater resources. |
