Agricultural regions are a significant source of groundwater pesticide pollution. To ensure that agricultural regions with a significantly high risk of groundwater pesticide contamination are properly managed, a risk-based ranking method related to groundwater pesticide contamination is needed. In the present paper, a risk-based prioritization method for the classification of groundwater pesticide pollution from agricultural regions was established.

- Hazardous waste landfill sites are a major cause of groundwater pollution and require a method for risk-based ranking to manage potential contamination effectively.
- This research develops a five-phase prioritization method involving risk pre-screening, indicator selection, classification, and validation, using 14 key indicators for evaluation.
- Application of this method to 37 hazardous waste landfills in China revealed that 62.2% of sites posed low to medium risk for groundwater contamination, demonstrating the method's feasibility and utility in risk management.
