ABSTRACT
Drivers such as climate change, population growth and human activities put high pressure on water resources both in quantity and quality. Response of groundwater to these impacts are slower with respect to surface waters. It is expected that dependency on groundwater in terms of meeting the demands in semi-arid regions will increase in the future. Besides, remediation of the contaminated resources are prohibitively costly and often impractical (Thirumalaivasan et al. 2003) so, proper management of groundwater are of great importance.
