The long-term impacts of anthropogenic and natural processes on groundwater deterioration in a multilayered aquifer

In many regions around the world, there are issues associated with groundwater resources due to human and natural factors. However, the relation between these factors is difficult to determine due to the large number of parameters and complex processes required. In order to understand the relation b...
