Groundwater is a vital resource in arid and semi-arid regions, such as Ethiopia’s Jimma Borena zones, where surface water availability limited. This study employs Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to delineate groundwater potential zones. Key hydrogeological parameters, including lithology, slope, land use/land cover, drainage density, recharge, were analyzed weighted using AHP generate suitability maps. The findings indicate that Jimma, 4.6% of area highly suitable for development, 24% moderately suitable, 70% has low suitability. In Borena, 6.2% 42.6% 51.1% exhibits due topographic geological constraints. Validation borehole data confirms model’s reliability, demonstrating strong agreement with observed yields. These results provide cost-effective approach exploration highlight necessity geophysical surveys complex terrains enhance mapping accuracy. offers valuable insights planners policymakers, supporting sustainable management strategies region.

ABSTRACT This study aims to identify groundwater potential zones (GWPZs) utilizing multi-influencing factor, geographical information system (GIS)-based analytical hierarchy processes (AHPs), and remote sensing in the Gorezen watershed, Ethiopia. Weighted overlay analysis was used this integrate nine thematic layers. The watershed is primarily covered by regions with roughly low potential, according results, which were linked kinds of geology geomorphological settings. Receiver operating characteristic curves samples observed well-yielded data validate GWPZ map. Additionally, field observations confirmed that a high degree agreement obtained. cross-validation results show AHP lot more successful approach (accuracy 0.87) for obtaining maps. Thus, it acceptable GWPZs integrated methodologies combine two multi-criteria decision techniques aid GIS environment.

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.
