Enhanced groundwater vulnerability assessment to nitrate contamination in Chongqing, Southwest China: Integrating novel explainable machine learning algorithms with DRASTIC-LU

Groundwater vulnerability to nitrate assessment serves as a measure of potential groundwater nitrate pollution in a target area. This study applies the DRASTIC-LU framework, nitrate distribution data, and three machine learning models (RF, XGB, SVM) to classify nitrate levels (exceeding 10 mg/L as n...
