More Information
Summary:Groundwater pollution vulnerability was mapped for entire South Korea using groundwater, topography, geology, and soil data. For this, the DRASTIC model developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency was used and the geographic information system (GIS) was used as the basic tool. This groundwater pollution vulnerability map can be usefully used as basic data for groundwater development and conservation management. The constructed data is provided as entire South Korean and regional data, respectively. In addition, in order to expand the accessibility of the data, it is converted and provided in three data formats: ASCII, ArcGIS Grid, and GeoTIFF. All these satellite image analysis data can be downloaded free of charge from the Environment Big Data Platform website (www.bigdata-environment.kr).
