Abstracts

Groundwater serves as one of the important sources of water supply for Binh Thuan province, Vietnam during dry seasons. This water source is concentrated in Quaternary sediments with two aquifers qh and qp. Geophysical methods have been applied, performing geological drilling, observing and monitoring boreholes. Determine the characteristics of the qh and qp aquifers, located along the coast of Binh Thuan province. Our research has shown that these reservoirs are contaminated. Water sources are at high risk of being contaminated with mineral oil, radioactive, organic, bacterial and saline contamination. The article warned about water resource risks in Binh Thuan province and proposed remedial measures to ensure water resources for Binh Thuan province.

Keywords
