Amman-Zarqa basin is facing a situation of water scarcity in terms of quantity and quality. Agricultural practices have impacted the status of groundwater resources. This analysis has been done utilizing a geostatistical approach, and drawing upon chemistry and isotope to determine the source of this problem. The unsustainable agricultural practices and overexploitation of the aquifer, the water quality has deteriorated and the water level dropped. GIS answer questions related to water drop
