Groundwater Vulnerability of the Basaltic Aquifer in the UFMS Campus, at Campo Grande – MS
The Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul Campus (UFMS) is located in Campo Grande in the basin of the Bandeira stream. It has its own water well supply system from the basalts of Serra Geral aquifer. Due to the importance of this water source for the Campus and the region, two methods of aquifer...
