Identification and preparing zoning map of vulnerable areas of the aquifer, is an appropriate management tool to prevent pollution of underground water resources. Considering the importance of Khovayes plain in agriculture water supply, drinking and industrial conditions, drastic model is used in order to assess the aquifer vulnerability. In drastic model, some significant indices in assessment of underground water aquifer vulnerability including water table depth, water supply network, aquifer type, soil type, topographic dip, components of unsaturated zone and hydraulic conductivity were used and prepared as seven layers in ArcGIS software; after weighting, ranking and integrating the seven mentioned layers, considering the pollutions, the final map of vulnerability aquifer were prepared. After matching Nitrate Ion on the final drastic map, it was found out that all points with high amount of Nitrate, are located in highly polluted realm which confirms the accuracy and validity of the used model.
