Short summary
The present study estimated the Kerman–Baghin aquifer vulnerability using DRASTIC and ‎composite DRASTIC (CDRASTIC) indices with the aid of geographic information system (GIS) techniques. The aquifer vulnerability maps indicated very similar results, ‎identifying the north-west parts of the aquifer as areas with high to very high vulnerability. According to the results, parts of the studied aquifer have a high vulnerability and ‎require protective measures.
