Groundwater is very important as freshwater source in world. The study is to identify
the vulnerability area of groundwater at Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu at its scale.
The aims of study are to calculate the vulnerability index of groundwater then generate
as vulnerability map by using Geographical Information System (GIS) software. The
vulnerability index is the value that been computed in formula as is assigned to the
specific weightage. DRASTIC are mainly define in term of aspects in hydrogeologic
explored as it gives significant for groundwater which is depth to groundwater, net
recharge, aquifer media, soil media, topography and impact of the vadose zone. The
DRASTIC method been applied with aid of GIS software. The findings show the
vulnerability index at coastal area are higher compared hill area. The map that
produced give an overview about the vulnerability of groundwater for better planning
and assessment in the future activity.
