Groundwater is considered an important supply source for portable water, due to its relatively low susceptibility to pollution, inter alia, in comparison to surface water (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0240">United State Environmental Protection Agency, 1985</a>). Unlike surface water that requires various pretreatment methods for domestic use, groundwater, in many cases, required little or no treatment, depending on the level of contamination. Unfortunately, both human settlement development (demographic dynamics, ignorance, improper watershed and waste management, advanced agricultural production and industrial activities etc) and physical conditions within the geological setting of most groundwater resources, threaten to compromise its quality and quantity. This relationship between groundwater quality and quantity and human settlement activities is further explored by (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040">Baalousha, 2010</a>), who associated contamination conditions with socioeconomic development. Public health and safety are threatened by groundwater and surface water contamination due to increases pressures from settlement development, in particular urbanisation and indiscriminate rural agricultural practices; hence, quality monitoring and conservation is essential (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040">Baalousha, 2010</a>).</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The geological sensitivity of groundwater aquifer is defined as the possibility of percolation and diffusion of contaminants from the surface, due to run-off, into the groundwater system (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085">Evans and Myers, 1990</a>). One of the approaches most widely used to protect groundwater quality consists of assessing and mapping the levels of contamination to which it is susceptible. This approach is relatively old, since its first application date back to the 1970s (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025">Albinet and Margat, 1970</a>). The accompanying mapping exercise is undertaken on factors related to the physical environment: soil, unsaturated zone, and topology of the aquifer. Conventional methods (i.e. DRASTIC model (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">Aller, 1987</a>) or the GOD model (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090">Foster, 1987</a>), AVI and SINTACS etc) are able to distinguish varying degrees of vulnerability at regional scales where different lithologies exist (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0245">Vias, et al., 2005</a>). However, the most popular of these is the DRASTIC, which is an acronym of seven hydro-geological parameters which helps in defining groundwater regime and its vulnerability towards pollution. The parameters are; depth to aquifer (D), recharge (R), aquifer media (A), soil type (S), topography (T), vadose zone (I), and hydraulic conductivity (C).</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The resulting thematic maps of each parameter are generated within a GIS environment. Similarly, combining DRASTIC and GIS is an efficient methods to assess groundwater vulnerability, while simultaneously assisting with its management (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045">Babiker, et al., 2005</a>). Each parameter in the DRASTIC model has been assigned different weight and rating value ranging from 1 to 10 based on its relative contribution to groundwater pollution. Initially developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) by Aller (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">Aller, 1987</a>), the DRASTIC approach has now got several regional applications (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">Al-Zabet, 2002</a>, <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035">Baalousha, 2006</a>, <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0125">Jamrah, et al., 2008</a>, <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0165">Merchant, 1994</a>).</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Some applications modified the DRASTIC method by adding different parameters (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210">Secunda, et al., 1998</a>, <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0255">Wang, 2007</a>) such as land use index, lineaments, aquifer thickness, and impact of contaminant. Still others, (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0175">Panagopoulos, et al., 2006</a>, <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0210">Secunda, Collin and Melloul, 1998</a>), added more parameters or replacing some parameters to produce good results, such as land use index or aquifer thickness. A computer software (i.e. AHP-DRASTIC) developed by <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0235">Thirumalaivasan <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">et al</span>. (2003)</a> derive ratings and weights of modified DRASTIC model parameters (Thirumalaivasan, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">et al</span>., 2003). Hui introduced an OREADIC model during a study in the Yinchuan Plain of China, which contains characteristics of DRASTIC model (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185">Qian, et al., 2011</a>). The GA-Ridge (genetic algorithm) model was developed and applied to determine the most effective hydro-geological factors influencing aquifer vulnerability (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">Ahn, et al., 2011</a>). Map scales less than 1:50,000 can be assessed by using Overlay and index methods and statistical methods; however larger map scales are used in methods based on simulation models. Intrinsic aquifer vulnerability can be assessed using overlay and index methods and statistical methods. However process-based simulation models are popular for assessing specific vulnerability (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060">Bazimenyera and Zhonghua, 2008</a>). Parameters can be applied in Index and Overlay methods to assess groundwater vulnerability (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0200">Samake, et al., 2011</a>).</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The current paper, investigated groundwater vulnerability by modifying the DRASTIC model using GIS on the unconfined aquifer at Lahore City in Pakistan. Lahore is a totally groundwater dependent city. Therefore, it is important to identify vulnerable and expected contaminants infiltration areas. Sensitivity analysis is calculated to evaluate the model parameters. Four categories of groundwater vulnerable zones of contamination were identified. While the substantive aim of this study was to prepare groundwater vulnerability map, the more general objectives was to use the maps to assist with making informed decision on groundwater resources management, identifying and classifying contaminants and their sources, identify and classifying the intrinsic properties of the aquifer that aids in groundwater quality maintenance and identifying other factors contributing to groundwater contamination and degradation. These objectives and aim will eventually assist in decision at both the policy and planning levels to boost quality and quantity standards. As the second largest city of Pakistan, Lahore is adversely affected by uncontrolled urbanisation. Thus, it is necessary to identify the effects of these various developments on the city's groundwater resources, and find solution to reduce the stress on the aquifer.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0030">Study area</span><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Lahore City is located between 31<span class="elsevierStyleSup">0</span>-15’ and 31<span class="elsevierStyleSup">0</span>-42’ north latitude, 74<span class="elsevierStyleSup">0</span>-01’ and 74<span class="elsevierStyleSup">0</span>-39’ east latitude.

Understanding the occurrence and movement of groundwater requires studying specific parts of the aquifer and also the larger contiguous aquifer constituted by the Indus River System. Although not a homogeneous and isotropic aquifer, the fine formations encountered at various depths have localized effect and do not impede the regional movement of groundwater water (NESPAK, 1993:Ref <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095">Gabriel and Khan, 2010</a>).</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The River Ravi is the main source of recharge to Lahore aquifer.

Central regions were more susceptible to contamination due the variation in groundwater level. Accordingly, the importance of protecting high vulnerability area and contamination sources is crucial. Topography and aquifer media are the two hydro-geological parameters calculated using the DRASTIC which show high vulnerability degree with mean value more than 8. In terms of aquifer vulnerability, vadose zone and aquifer media represent it more precisely as these both criteria provide highest weight in vulnerability assessment compared to recharge rate, water depth, VZ impact and hydraulic conductivity, which represent low to moderate values for vulnerability.</p><p id="par0315" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Due to high abstraction rate of groundwater, the water table has declined by approximately 0.84m yearly.
