Description

A robust and comprehensive assessment of intrinsic aquifer vulnerability at continental scale map may represent an essential initial step towards a more sustainable land-use and water management.

This repository contains the outcomes of an intrinsic aquifer vulnerability assessment of South America, performed by the DRASTIC method. The assets included in this repository are mainly raster maps (.tif, .geotif), created and georeferenced in QGIS (v3.16). Coordinate reference system (CRS) of the dataset is WGS84.

Technical specifications of all graphical outcomes are stored in a dedicated file (README.txt).
