SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ON GROUNDWATER POLLUTION : A REVIEW
Dr. Shalini Hemkar
Abstract:
Designing a network for monitoring the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of ground water includes choosing sampling locations and frequency. The two primary methods for designing a ground-water quality monitoring network were hydrogeologic and statistical. The range of application, data needs, data requirements, temporal effects, and spatial size of the monitoring programme have all been taken into account while evaluating the various network design methodologies that are available in the hydrologic literature. Although they largely serve for basic research and design, significant advancements made over the past 20 years now allow the implementation of rigorous and tested methodologies to ground-water quality monitoring network design. As ground-water hydrology, hydrogeochemistry, risk analysis, and geostatistics continue to evolve, so too will approaches for designing ground-water quality monitoring network, making them ever more helpful in the crucial task of environmental protection.
