Improving aquifer vulnerability assessment and its explainability in the Zanjan aquifer: Integrating DRASTIC model and optimized long short-term memory-based metaheuristic algorithms

Groundwater vulnerability assessment involves the evaluation of the potential contamination risk in specific areas. This study aims to enhance the original DRASTIC model by incorporating three methods to improve its accuracy and reliability in identifying vulnerable groundwater regions (to nitrate)...
