Groundwater contamination poses a severe public health risk in Lahore, Pakistan’s second-largest city, where over-exploited aquifers are the primary municipal and domestic water supply source. This study presents first comprehensive district-wide assessment of groundwater quality across Lahore using an innovative integrated approach combining geographic information systems (GIS), multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), indexing techniques. The core objectives were to map spatial distributions critical pollutants like arsenic, model their impacts on overall potability, evaluate targeted remediation scenarios. analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology was applied derive weights for relative importance diverse parameters based expert judgments. Arsenic received highest priority weight (0.28), followed by total dissolved solids (0.22) hardness (0.15), reflecting significance as hazards. Weighted overlay GIS delineated localized hotspots, unveiling severely degraded areas with very poor index values (>150) urban industrial zones Cantt, Model Town, parts City. corroborates reports unregulated effluent discharges contributing aquifer pollution. Prospective improvement scenarios projected that reducing heavy metals arsenic 30% could enhance indices up 20.71% critically localities Shalimar. Simulating advanced multi-barrier treatment processes showcased over 95% potential reduction levels, indicating requirement deploying oxidation filtration infrastructure aligned local contaminant profiles. support tool enables visualization complex patterns, evaluation options, prioritizing risk-mitigation investments distribution hazard exposures. framework equips planners utilities insights developing restoration policies through strategic interventions encompassing facilities, drainage improvements, pollutant discharge regulations. Its replicability other regions allows tackling widespread challenges robust data synthesis quantitative scenario modeling capabilities.
