• The soil attributes and the corresponding
weights used for calculating the vulnerability index for pollution by leaching (groundwater /
aquifers) are:
•Dominant
surface textural class and Dominant sub-surface textural class. If the codes for surface and sub-surface
textural class are “Coarse” than the corresponding weight is “1”.
•Soil type. For
“Gleysol”, “Fluvisol”, “Histosol” or “Arenosol”
the weight is “1”
