Abstract:This study aimed to assess the health of the Kalaji watershed based on relative and absolute approaches and highlight their differences. First, the sub-watersheds' status was evaluated regarding geomorphological, hydrological, water quality, and landscape criteria using five indicators: specific erosion, specific flood, landslide density, specific sediment, and the percentage of natural land uses. The overall health index was calculated by combining the weights (by AHP) and values of the indicators. The findin… Show more
