Groundwater pollution risk can be defined as the process of estimating the possibility that a particular event may occur under a given set of circumstances, and the assessment is achieved by overlaying hazard and vulnerability

Summary
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Both groundwater quantity and quality are becoming dominant issues in many countries. Groundwater, as a source of public water supply, presents significant advantages compared with surface water due to its protection from surface pollutants. Human activities, such as agriculture, urbanization and industry, have caused irreversible degradation of groundwater quality; prevention is the most appropriate strategy in the fight against groundwater pollution.
