“…According to the authors report, anthropic impacts and climate change are amplified due to the extrapolation of groundwater use, and the loss of natural vegetation cover directly influences the infiltration volume and replenishment of groundwater springs. Study in Nigeria conducted by ETUK, et al [19], corroborates the discussion raised so far, the researchers analysed Depth to water, net Recharge, Aquifer media, Soil media, Topography, Impact of vadose zone, and hydraulic conductivity (Depth to water, net Recharge, Aquifer media, Soil media, Topography, Impact of vadose zone, and hydraulic Conductivity-DRASTIC). Identifying nitrate values (HUNOOR, et al [20,21]) higher than allowed even in the saturated zone, and the reasons that are already well known among them, the region had a population increase in the order of 400% in the period between 200 and 2020.…”

The hydrological water cycle comprises constant water movements, which have great influence on the maintenance of vital natural activities. Groundwater in particular constitutes a portion of aquifers, which are considered mobile reservoirs used mainly as a source of supply and human consumption. However, external influences have become largely responsible for the unbalance of the ecosystem, linked to the unbridled human consumption of finite natural resources and the consequent discharge of waste into the receiving bodies without the necessary treatment. The geological water cycle is interrupted when forests are cut down, springs and rivers are extinguished, and together with this, finally, the lack of basic sanitation alters the ecosystem, causing changes of great relevance to the world's population. Groundwater has suffered relevant impacts due to the loss of biodiversity of ecosystems, such as contamination, overuse, lack of current regulatory legislation for use, and the improvement of decontamination techniques. The analysis of the following activities is necessary, mainly due to the anthropic punctual impacts to the ecosystem, corroborating the need for satisfactory techniques. It is noticeable the need for extreme attention to the waste runoff via sanitary sewage to places that have treatment, but the same is not very efficient in retaining this liability, since some developing countries that have not reached about 90% treatment of sanitary sewage, demonstrating the lack of such activities. Thus, the objective of this study is to verify, by means of exploratory and bibliographic research in research bases, the measures that protect the water. Technological measures and sustainable management tools for this purpose will be reviewed, as well as the evolution of groundwater treatment techniques.

“…(Bernardo et al 2022;Pouye et al 2022;Koon et al 2023;Mensah et al 2023;Omeje et al 2023). The choice of method depends on factors such as aquifer type, area scale, data availability and pollutant type (Etuk et al 2022). Given the expense and complexity of groundwater monitoring, (Jain, 2023), researchers have developed economical methodologies that are easier to apply and do not require extensive data or complex computations (Kumar et al 2015;Canora et al 2022;Kirlas et al 2022a).…”

Groundwater vulnerability assessment is a crucial step in the efficient management of groundwater resources, especially in areas with intensive anthropogenic activities and groundwater pollution. In the present study, the DRASTIC method was applied using Geographic Information System (GIS) to delineate groundwater vulnerability zones in the Erbil Dumpsite area, Central Erbil Basin, North Iraq. Results showed that the area was classified into four vulnerability classes: Very low (16.97%), low (27.67%), moderate (36.55%) and high (18.81%). The southern, south-eastern and northern parts of the study area exhibited the highest vulnerability potential, while the central-northern, northern and north-western regions displayed the lowest vulnerability potential. Moreover, results of the single-parameter sensitivity analysis indicated that amongst the seven DRASTIC parameters, the unsaturated zone and the aquifer media were the most influencing parameters. In conclustion, the correlation of 25 nitrate concentration values with the final vulnerability map, assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient, yielded a satisfactory result of R = 0.72.

This study aims to determine the effect of drilling training on improving the balance of badminton athletes. The benefits of this research, 1) theoretically this research opens a paradigm in the field of coaching in general and specifically in badminton sports to use a variety of forms of exercise, 2) this research is expected to add knowledge to the coaches so that they choose a form of exercise that is simple but can improve various physical conditions, 3) as a reference value for the quality of further research. This study used an experimental method with a one group pretest-postest research design. The population in this study were 10 badminton athletes PB.PT. One Asahan. The sample in this study were 10 badminton athletes PB.PT. One Asahan with total sampling. Data collection techniques are carried out measuring balance with a strok stand measuring instrument. The data analysis technique used is using SPSS 23 software to test the Independent T-Test. The results showed that there was an increase in drilling training on improving the balance of badminton athletes with a sig value (2-tailed) p 0.00 < 0.05.
