Groundwater is a vital water resource for economic, agricultural, and domestic purposes in arid regions. To reduce scarcity regions, recently, remote sensing GIS techniques have been successfully applied to predict areas with prospective resources. Thus, this study attempted spatially reveal groundwater potential zones (GWPZs) conduct change detection on the desert fringes of Wadi Asyuti, defunct tributary Egypt’s Nile basin eastern Sahara. Eleven influential factors generated from imagery, geological, hydrological, climatic conditions were combined after giving weight each factor through GIS-based Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) coupled weighted overlay technique (WOT). The results revealed six distinctive scores ranging very low (10.59%) excellent (3.03%). Thirty-three productive wells, Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) coherence (CCD), land use map derived Sentinel-2, delineated flooding zone Landsat-8 data used validate zones. GWPZs indicated that 48% collected wells can be classified as consistent excellent. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) image classification multi-temporal Landsat series Sentinel-2 along InSAR CCD Sentinel-1 images dramatic changes use/land cover (LU/LC) terms agricultural other anthropogenic activities structurally downstream area, which most promising area future developments. Overall, integration radar multispectral has ability provide valuable information about resources tested model technique, such extremely significant guidance planners decision makers sustainable development.
