Hydrology at the helm: Investigating land use responses to hydropatterns in Nagaon district of Assam, India, using rural hydrological approach

Progress in Physical Geography Earth and Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 23, 2025

The rural landscapes of Nagaon district in Assam, situated the floodplains Brahmaputra valley India, are characterized by intricate relationships between hydrological conditions, land use practices, and water resource management. present study delves into understanding these their implications for agricultural sustainability utilizing approach. To achieve its objective, employed a range methods such as stakeholder surveys, oral interviews, dag hydropattern analysis, participatory appraisal (PRA). findings reveal significant variations hydropatterns across villages seasons, influencing crop growth decisions. Traditional classification based on conditions guides with farmers strategically selecting rice varieties to suit specific environments. Moreover, transition from surface groundwater-based irrigation systems has enhanced productivity while raising concerns about groundwater sustainability. applicability extends beyond district, offering insights managing resources areas worldwide fostering resilience communities facing similar challenges.

Micro‐spatial flood risk assessment in Nagaon district, Assam (India) using GIS‐based multi‐criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP)

Risk Analysis, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 44(4), P. 817 - 832

Published: July 20, 2023

Abstract Nagaon is one of the highly flood‐prone districts Assam, India that recurrently experiences devastating floods resulting in loss lives and property wreaking havoc on district's socioeconomic infrastructure. Identification mapping spatial patterns flood hazards, vulnerability, risk zones (FRZs) district are, therefore, crucial for management mitigation. The present study, attempts to delineate FRZs more than 930 villages by integrating hazard vulnerability layers geospatial environment using multi‐criteria decision analysis analytical hierarchy process techniques. Here, seven indicators are considered derive each layer separately. results indicate about 15.14% total very high FRZ, 27.93% high, 46.62% moderate, 10.3% low FRZ. Further, bivariate correlation used evaluate with percentages population, cropland, animals affected at different temporal scales order ensure revenue circles a higher percentage area under genuinely have flood‐affected people, livestock. significance this research evident its pragmatic findings could aid stakeholders managing reducing micro‐spatial scales.

GIS-based multi-criteria decision making for delineation of potential groundwater recharge zones for sustainable resource management in the Eastern Mediterranean: a case study

Applied Water Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(7)

Published: June 21, 2024

Abstract In light of population growth and climate change, groundwater is one the most important water resources globally. Groundwater crucial for sustaining many vital sectors in Syria, including industrial agricultural sectors. However, exploitation has significantly escalated to meet different needs especially post-war period earthquake disaster. Therefore, goal was this study delineation potential zones (GPZs) by integrating analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method a geographic information systems (GIS) within AlAlqerdaha river basin western Syria. study, ten criteria were used map spatial distribution GPZs, slope, geomorphology, drainage density, land use/land cover (LU/LC), lineament lithology, rainfall, soil, curvature topographic wetness index (TWI). GPZs validated using location 74 wells Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC). The findings suggest that area divided into five GPZs: very low, 21.39 km 2 (10.87%); 52.45 (26.65%); moderate, 65.64 (33.35%); high, 40.45 (20.55%) 16.90 (8.58%). High high mainly corresponded regions area. conducted modeling indicated AHP-based showed remarkably acceptable correlation with locations (AUC = 87.7%, n 74), demonstrating precision AHP–GIS as rating method. results provide objective constructive outputs can help decision-makers optimally manage phase

The Precambrian hard rock topography of the Manbhum-Singhbhum plateau, which is well known for its semi-arid climates prone to drought, often seen in Purulia district West Bengal, India. Despite district’s middling groundwater capacity, 17 out 20 blocks have exorbitant fluoride pollution that negatively impacts health local residents. Approximately 13% whole area suffers from severe erosion. It evident river Kangsabati and tributaries are not fed by rainwater thereby there always a dearth ground water. aim this study was identify prioritize integral watersheds using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Geographic Information Systems (GIS). evaluation carried Bandu sub-watershed, contains five micro watersheds: 2A2B5m, 2A2B5k, 2A2B5h, 2A2B5b, 2A2B5j. analysis considered major factors: lithological properties, land use cover, soil erosion, recharge, hydrogeomorphology. weights these criteria were determined Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model, then prioritized Techniques Order Preference Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) technique. This emphasized an integrated approach assess watershed hazards establish rational conservation goals. Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) India report referred during data analysis. As result study, 2A2B5k emerged as most critical due susceptibility across analyzed parameters. thorough plan demonstrated usefulness identifying threads prioritizing efforts.
