Aquifer assessment is a research area that involves the evaluation and analysis of groundwater resources within aquifers. This includes determining the quantity, quality, and sustainability of the groundwater supply, as well as identifying potential sources of contamination and understanding the hydrogeological characteristics of the aquifer. Aquifer assessments typically involve a combination of field investigation, data collection, and modeling techniques to assess the overall health and viability of the aquifer system. The information gathered from these assessments can be used to inform water resource management decisions, such as sustainable groundwater use and protection measures.
