Methodological principles of risk assessment in case of chemical ground water pollution

Summary

Risk assessment is recognized as a basis in tackling environmental protection issues practically all over the world. The methodological principles of risk assessment in case of chemical ground water pollution are considered. Basic algorithms for the main risk assessments related to ground water pollution are formulated; area vulnerability categories are defined depending on the response to the impact of negative processes in ground waters, methodological area vulnerability ranking in working out environmental measures is developed. The methodology of risk assessment of ground water pollution imposes exclusive demands on predicting pollution prevalence. In this connection a concept analysis of the advanced software in terms of the adaptation to the risk assessment in case of ground water pollution was carried out.
