ABSTRACT Surface and subsurface anomalies, hydrological conditions, dynamic interactions between embedded thematic layers influence groundwater recharge potential (GRP). Conducting a GRP study plays an essential role in promoting the sustainable use of resources amid growing population unplanned urbanization. This focuses on assessing semi‐arid eastern plains Rajasthan by delineating zones (GPZs) using integrated approach involving remote sensing geographical information system (RS‐GIS) technique analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method. Research findings indicate that region dominated fine sand, silt clay, pediment‐pediplain complex, aeolian sand sheet, higher drainage density, cambisols soil, river channels, floodplains, water bodies, soil hydraulic conductivity surface wetness significantly contributed to good region. Additionally, lineaments, hills valleys regulate movement. A strong negative correlation (–0.78) decadal‐mean‐depth fluctuation GPZs frequency classes validates identifying high areas with low mean‐depth fluctuation. Sensitivity analysis highlights geology geomorphology as crucial factors. However, addresses limitations challenges, such data scaling spatial resolution issues due nonlinear pixel fusion algorithms AHP method‐related model interpretation. The current presents convenient for improving resource management hydrogeologically sensitive drought‐prone regions.

Abstract Groundwater is a critical resource for sustaining human activities, particularly in urban areas, where its importance exaggerated by growing water demands, expansion, and industrial activities. Ensuring future security necessitates an in-depth understanding of groundwater recharge dynamics, which are often complex influenced rapid urbanization. The alarming decline resources both rural regions underscore the urgency advanced management strategies. However, identifying evaluating potential zones (GWPZs) remains challenge due to dynamic interplay hydrogeological development factors. This study employs integrated approach combining geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing, multi-criteria decision analysis using analytical hierarchy process (MCDA-AHP) delineate GWPZs Sulaymaniyah Basin (SB). methodology further supported data validated through geophysical investigation electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data. For MCDA-AHP, six thematic layers including rainfall, geology, lineament density, slope, drainage land use/land cover were derived from satellite imagery, geological surveys, well These ranked based on their relative influence GIS-based weighted overlay generate maps. results identified three recharge: low (11.26%), moderate (45.51%), high (43.23%). Validation ERT receiver operating characteristics (ROC) revealed strong agreement, with area under curve (AUC) accuracy 86%. findings demonstrate robustness approach, providing reliable tool minimizing hydrogeophysical exploration costs reducing number unsuccessful boreholes.

Abstract The excessive exploitation of groundwater has led to a significant decline in water levels recent years, emphasizing the need for sustainable resource management strategies. Artificial recharge emerged as an effective solution address this challenge. This study integrates Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) techniques identify suitable areas artificial Ardabil plain, located northwest Iran. Key parameters, including geology, slope, unsaturated zone thickness, soil texture, specific yield, drainage density, land use, were analyzed. These parameters weighted using three methodologies: Analytic Network Process (ANP), Hierarchy (AHP), Fuzzy (FAHP). final suitability map was developed by overlaying combining information layers. analysis revealed that 53.3%, 6%, 42% plain area classified “very good” according AHP, FAHP, ANP methods, respectively. southern part consistently identified across all characterized pasture lands with young alluvial sediments, deep zone, gentle slopes, low high yield. To evaluate performance these results cross-validated against natural estimates, considering factors influencing level fluctuations rates. Among demonstrated highest consistency making it preferred approach.

Abstract Integration of remote sensing and geographical information systems (GIS) is crucial in groundwater resource management, particularly regions like the Okavango Delta Northern Botswana, characterized by erratic rainfall ranging annually spatially from 300 to 600 millimetres. This variability, coupled with occasional droughts, poses significant risks water resources, agriculture, livelihoods. To tackle these challenges, this study employed GIS techniques delineate potential zones (GWPZs) lower Delta. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was utilized analyse eight thematic factors—geology, rainfall, slope, lineament density, soil, drainage density land use, cover—and integrate them into zone map. identified five distinct GWPZs: very poor (2.8%), (44.5%), moderate (45.0%), good (7.6%), (0.1%), indicating varying degrees availability suitability for sustainable use. Integrating map broader management plans recommended promote practices. Additionally, enhancing climate resilience through cross-sectoral collaboration stakeholder engagement crucial. These efforts are necessary developing integrated strategies address planning adapt change impacts, fostering development water-stressed regions.
