Groundwater recharge zone identification is vital for managing water resources, particularly in semi-arid and dry climates. Accurate quantifiable assessment necessary the sustainable management of groundwater it possible to carry this method out using modern techniques technical standards. To identify likely locations Diyala River Catchment, Iraq, which serves as an example study basin, current research examines a new methodology that employs geographic information system, Analytical Hierarchy Process connected with remote sensing data. The technique ArcGIS was employed generate spatially distributed thematic layers rainfall, lithology, slope, drainage density, land use/land cover, relief soil. raster data from these were then converted categorized. weights assigned strata depended on their significance relative occurrence. A pairwise judgement matrix used, categorized ranking, assess standardized under consideration. formation zones have been placed overlay-weighted summation approach. Three regions, are classed excellent, good moderate, identified resulting potential map, representing roughly 29, 69 2% basin’s total area, respectively. study’s conclusions indicate that, such climate, adopted strategy would produce favourable results promote organizing opinions use resources.

Countries face challenges of excess, scarcity, pollution, and uneven water distribution. This study highlights the benefits advances in groundwater engineering that improve understanding utilizing local geological characteristics due to their crucial role resisting drought southern Lebanon. The type region was determined using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Vegetation (NDVI), Condition (VCI), Soil Moisture Anomaly (SM). dry aquifer its were analyzed mathematical equations established hydrogeological principles, including Darcy’s law. Additionally, a morphometric assessment Litani River performed evaluate suitability for artificial recharge, where optimal placement barrier recharge tunnels Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. analysis involved excluding certain parameters based on Shapiro–Wilk test normality. Accordingly, Geographic Information System (GIS), we modeled simulated potential table. results showed importance validity linking combating layers. Eocene layer clearer trend possibility being artificially recharged from than any other layer. proposed method can enhance raise level four levels, transform it into large, saturated thickness. On hand, noted levels near surface will cover most area studied could potentially store more one billion cubic meters water, mitigating effects climate change decades.
