Geospatial assessment of groundwater quality, heavy metal contamination and human health risks in the rapidly industrializing and agriculturally dominated Shivalik Himalaya, India
Aim of the study
This study addresses the growing concern of water pollution in rural areas, where limited monitoring can affect both human health and ecosystem stability. Contamination of freshwater resources has become an important environmental and public health issue, prompting the need for detailed local assessmen...
