Abstract
In the present article, a method has been suggested for the assessment of groundwater pollution by means of a groundwater contamination index. The practical applicability of this index has been tested in the vicinity of Ada Tepe Mining Facility near Krumovgrad in Southeast Bulgaria. The index takes into account both those parameters exceeding the permissible amounts, and the concentrations of those contaminants exceeding those limits according to specific standards. The factors affecting the quality of groundwater can be described as natural (geogenic): geological, climatic, topographic, or biological and anthropogenic – pollution from agricultural or industrial activities, sewerage infrastructure, etc.
