DRASTIC Adjustment Using the Advection-Diffusion Cell to Assess Groundwater Vulnerability to Nitrate Pollution
Nitrate sorption capacity of different soils will be evaluated using the Advection-Diffusion Cell. This parameter will be coupled with the standard DRASTIC index to evaluate the specific groundwater vulnerability to nitrate pollution in the Venlo Block in the North Rhine Westphalia in Germany.
