Abstract In the Lafia district, rising population has increased need for groundwater resources economic growth. Sustainable resource management demands accurate quantitative assessment, which may be accomplished using scientific theories and innovative methods. present study, an integrated method been employed to assess potential zones in district utilizing remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS), analytic hierarchy (AHP). For this aim, eight thematic maps regulating occurrence transportation of (i.e., geology, rainfall, geomorphology, slope, drainage density, soil, land use/land cover lineament density) were generated converted into raster format ArcGIS tool. Weights assigned these based on their importance. Moreover, final normalized weights parameters calculated adopting pairwise comparison matrix AHP. To create (GWPZs) map research area, we overlay weighted sum approach combine parameters. The divided four (good, moderate, poor very poor), each represents 19.3, 12.9, 57.8, 10% study area. Lastly, GWPZs was validated borehole data obtained from 50 wells scattered throughout area examine performance approach. validation results demonstrate that adopted procedure produces highly reliable can aid long-term development strategic use

The Rarh Bengal region in West Bengal, particularly the eastern fringe area of Chotanagpur plateau, is highly prone to water-induced gully erosion. In this study, we analyzed spatial patterns a potential erosion Gandheswari watershed. This affected by monsoon rainfall and ongoing land-use changes. combination causes intensive land degradation. Therefore, developed susceptibility maps (GESMs) using machine learning (ML) algorithms boosted regression tree (BRT), Bayesian additive (BART), support vector (SVR), ensemble SVR-Bee algorithm. inventory are based on total 178 head-cutting points, taken as dependent factor, conditioning factors, which serve independent factors. We validated ML model results under curve (AUC), accuracy (ACC), true skill statistic (TSS), Kappa coefficient index. AUC result BRT, BART, SVR, models 0.895, 0.902, 0.927, 0.960, respectively, show very good GESM accuracies. provides more accurate prediction than any single used study.

Abstract Increased consumption of water resource due to rapid growth population has certainly reduced the groundwater storage beneath earth which leads certain challenges human being in recent time. For optimal management this vital resource, exploration potential zone (GWPZ) become essential. We have applied Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Frequency Ratio (FR) and two machine learning techniques specifically Random Forest (RF) Naïve Bayes (NB) here delineate GWPZ Gandheswari River Basin Chota Nagpur Plateau, India. To achieve goal study, twelve factors that determine occurrence been selected for inter-thematic correlations overlaid with location wells. These include elevation, drainage density, slope, lithology, geomorphology, topographical wetness index (TWI), distance from river, rainfall, lineament Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), soil, Land use cover (LULC). A total 170 points including 85 well site non-well randomly allocated into parts: training testing at share 70:30. The implemented methods significantly provided five GWPZs Very Good (VG), (G), Moderate (M), Poor (P) (VP) high acceptable accuracy. study also finds rainfall elevation greater importance shaping than LULC, NDVI, etc. Model performance tested receiver operator characteristics (ROC), Accuracy (ACC), Kappa Coefficient, MAE, RMSE, etc., methods. Area under curve (AUC) ROC revealed accuracy level AHP, FR, RF NB is 78.8%, 81%, 85.3% 85.5, respectively. coupled AHP FR unveil effective delineation area said river basin by genetically offers low primary porosity lithological constrains. Therefore, can be helpful watershed identifying appropriate wells future.
