Geological and geomorphological factors in the formation of intrinsic vulnerability of fractures rocks: application on the island of Tinos

Abstract

This study examines the effects of geomorphological factors and the formation of intrinsic vulnerability, and include the geomorphological criteria, in order to formulate the vulnerability assessment methods and apply them in the case of Tinos Island, that will lead to the development of the final map of vulnerability together with the geomorphological characteristics for Tinos Island. The concept of groundwater vulnerability is based on the theory that the natural environment can offer some degree of protection to aquifers against contaminants entering the subsurface environment by natural or human causes. Thus, the need of studying groundwater vulnerability becomes continuously more essential, although it has underestimated or ignored the geomorphological factors. Tinos is the third largest island of Cyclades. Its shape is trianglular and it geographically belongs to the eastern Cyclades. The climate of the island is dry-temperate. The mean air temperature in July is 26°C and in Dece ...
