  Industrial developments must follow environmental codes to sustain soil, water and air quality. Therefore, assessment of aquifer vulnerability potential for locating new industrial settlements is necessary. In this research, the vulnerability of Sari plain groundwater resources to the establishment of industrial zones is evaluated by DRASTIC model. Results show that Sari aquifer is very vulnerable to industrial development and the vulnerability map of the plain consists of three zones. The first, second and third zones that covers 10.49%, 56.66% and 32.85% of areal extent of the plain are classified as highly, very highly and too highly vulnerable, respectively. Parameter sensitivity analysis showed that the depth of the water-table is the most effective factor on the DRASTIC vulnerability index. Sari shallow aquifer is strongly affected by pollutants from agricultural and industrial activities. The study area is not suitable for the establishment of industrial estates based on the vulnerability map. Moreover, if environmental considerations are not respected by farmers and the existing industrial units in the plain, the aquifer will be suffering serious damages. Manuscript profile

  New industrial estates developments must follow the effective factors in protection, management and sustainable development of aquifers and water resources in a plain in order to meet the needs of people. Therefore, assessment of the aquifer vulnerability potential for locating new industrial estates settlements is necessary. So, investigation of the vulnerability of Sari plain groundwater resources for locating the industrial zones is necessery. In this research, the risk map of the plain was prepared using a drastic model to assessment of the effective hydrogeological factors in locating the industrial estates of Sari plain. The results of the Drastic model showed that Sari aquifer vulnerability is classified in three groups of highly vulnerable (10.49%,), very highly vulnerable (56.66%) and too highly vulnerable (32.85%). Sensitivity analysis based on two-way single parameter and parameter deletion methods showed that the depth of the water-table factor is the most sensitive factor on the DRASTIC vulnerability index. Sari aquifer is strongly affected by agricultural and industrial activities' pollutants due to shallow water-table; so, the study area is not suitable for establishment of industrial estates based on the final vulnerability map, the aquifer extreme vulnerability potential and the amount of exsisting pollutant. Also, if environmental considerations are not respected by farmers and the existing industrial units in the plain, the aquifer will be suffering serious damages. Manuscript profile
