Groundwater is imperative for the continuance of life and sustainability of ecosystem. Contamination of the water is the well-recognized danger to the public health in Pakistan. Hence, this study was conducted to assess and map the spatial variation of groundwater quality in the surroundings of Dijkot Branch Drain by using the Geographical Information System(GIS). For this purpose, sixty samples of groundwater, ten samples of wastewater and five samples of sludge were collected along with their coordinates from the study area. The collected samples were analyzed for chemical parameters and heavy metals, such as pH, EC, TDS, Carbonates, Bicarbonates, Arsenic, Lead, Chromium, Cadmium, Zinc. The results obtained from the study were compared with WHO guidelines. Then, the values of these water quality parameters were mapped by using GIS software. Arc GIS V 10.2 was used for raster interpolation. To exhibit the spatial variation of groundwater quality scenario of the study area, Kriging method was adopted. on. It was generally observed that none of the parameters in the wastewater samples was found to be within the permissible limit. The research study resulted that the groundwater of the study area is deteriorated by Dijkot Branch Drain and is not fit for drinking purpose.

Situbondo Regional Police are law enforcers who work in the East Java Situbondo district. Of course, in carrying out all its duties, it requires communication and information exchange between officers and civilians to carry out police duties properly and effectively. In reality on the ground, not all Situbondo people, especially those outside Situbondo, know the geographical location of the police station in each sub-district in Situbondo district. The only way to find the Situbondo Police Station is to ask and ask someone who has visited or learned about the office. However, using this procedure requires more time and is a bit of a hassle for other people, this is due to the absence of a map pointer to deliver or give an overview of the location of the Police station. From the above problems, namely the absence of loyal Police station appointees at all times to help, it is necessary to design a Situbondo Police Station Geographical Information System that is the answer to the problems discussed above. The establishment of this system is expected to be able to assist the Police in informing the geographical location of the Police station along with important information and also assisting the public in finding the Police station quickly and effectively.

The objective of the study was to provide an overview of the using of Analytical Geographical Information System (GIS) to determine Environmental Carrying Capacity and Capability in Tanah Laut Regency Province of South Kalimantan. The combination methode of Pairwise Comparation and The spatial capacity offered by GIS is directly applicable to understanding the spatial variation by environmental factors. The result of this study shows that carrying capacity and capability can reflect a potential and availability of natural resources in the area of Tanah Laut Regency so that it can be known in which areas have the greatest potential and availability of indicators where the percentage distribution of the extent of the environmental carrying capacity of each ecosistem service potential and the most dominant availability are in the District of Jorong, which is 60% for the High category including 6 Ecosistem Services and 40% for the very high category for 4 Ecosistem Services. 30% Kintap Subdistrict for very high category for 3 Ecosistem Services and 20% for High category includes 2 Ecosistem Services.

The present investigation has been conducted to delineate the hydrogeochemical and environmental factors that control the water quality of the groundwater resources in the north-east of Cairo. A complementary approach based on hydrogeochemistry and a geographical information system (GIS) based protectability index has been employed for conducting this work. The results from the chemical analysis revealed that the groundwater of the Quaternary aquifer is less saline than that of the Miocene aquifer and the main factors that control the groundwater salinity in the studied area are primarily related to the genesis of the original recharging water modified after by leaching, dissolution, cation exchange, and fertilizer leachate. The computed groundwater quality index (WQI) falls into two categories: fair for almost all the Miocene groundwater samples, while the Quaternary groundwater samples are all have a good quality. The retarded flow and non-replenishment of the Miocene aquifer compared to the renewable active recharge of the Quaternary aquifer can explain this variation of WQI. The index and overlay approach exemplified by the DUPIT index has been used to investigate the protectability of the study aquifers against diffuse pollutants. Three categories (highly protectable less vulnerable, moderately protectable moderately vulnerable and less protectable highly vulnerable) have been determined and areally mapped.
