The present work attempts to study the contamination of aquifers in the northeastern part of the Corinth region. For this purpose, a Geographic Information System (GIS) was used, specifically the Kriging and Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) methods. Different topographic digitized maps were used as information in the Geographic System. Increased activity in agricultural crops was observed in the study area, which is expected to aggravate aquifers due to the use of fertilizers and pesticides and other polluting cultivation practices.This study concludes that the reason for aquifer pollution from residential development in the area is the lack of a central drainage system. This affects the northeastern part of the prefecture of Corinth. The Geographic Information System has been an important tool in determining the best methods for water resources management.
