“…In relation to groundwater potential, drainage density is a factor that plays a role in determining surface runoff and permeability (Castillo et al, 2022). This is closely related to local hydrogeological conditions, considering that drainage water can be in the form of infiltration or discharge water.…”

“…Various studies on groundwater potential zones using the AHP method have been conducted, and the results are reliable (Castillo et al, 2022;Radulović et al, 2022). The AHP method is also convenient in obtaining very large alternative weights and can describe qualitative data in quantitative form with numerical assignments arranged into an analytic hierarchy.…”

Sustainable groundwater management is crucial for ensuring the long-term availability of water resources and supporting socio-economic activities. As water demands increase and hydrological systems become more complex, accurately identifying groundwater potential zones is essential for effective resource planning and utilization. However, the in-situ data availability is often very limited, particularly on a regional scale. To solve this problem, this study aimed to delineate groundwater potential zones in Aceh Besar Regency using remote sensing and a GIS-based AHP (analytical hierarchy process). Several factors were used to determine groundwater potential zones, including lithology, land use/land cover, slope, lineament density, drainage density, rainfall, and soil type. Each factor was weighted based on an extensive literature review and knowledge-driven decision-making techniques. The results indicated that 26.35% of the area was classified as having low groundwater potential, whereas 53.86% was classified as moderate. Areas that have high to very high groundwater potential cover 16.76% to 3.04% of the Aceh Besar territory. The high groundwater potential zones were mostly located in alluvial and clastic sediments lithology, gentle slopes, and had high annual rainfall. Meanwhile, areas with igneous and metamorphic lithology as well as steep slopes, had moderate to low groundwater potential. Validation was carried out by collecting the high-yield existing production wells and calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with relatively good accuracy (74.5%). This research has effectively described the spatial distribution of groundwater potential, contributing to sustainable groundwater management and enabling informed decision-making for sustainable groundwater practices.

“…Landsat cloud free images of 30m resolution from the USGS portal for the years 1990, 2000 and 2021 were downloaded and registered in the ArcGIS 10.3 software [imagery particulars are given in the Table 1]. Pre-processed satellite images are loaded into the ERDAS GIS platform (14,15) . True colour composite maps were produced using the red, green, and blue bands (RGB) of each scene in the module "RGB Composite".…”

Objectives:The current study shows the magnitude of changes in land use and land cover (LULC) in the Ambattur Zone from 1990 to 2021 and examines its impact on groundwater quality through the Gibbs diagram, Piper diagram, multivariate statistical analysis, and water quality index (WQI) for drinking. Methods: Landsat images were collected to derive the LULC images through the supervised classification approach. Groundwater samples were collected from 31 wells for two seasons and analyzed for the hydrogeochemical study. Gibbs, Piper, multivariate statistical analysis and WQI were done to evaluate the groundwater quality for drinking purpose and to study the hydrogeochemical characteristics. Findings: The results show that barren land decreased from 7.4 to 4.31 km 2 , whereas, built-up land expanded from 21.37 to 24 km 2 . Compared to barren and built-up regions, water and vegetation land haven't changed much. LULC change analysis required assessing Ambattur groundwater quality. Physico-chemical investigations and ionic concentrations show that Ambattur industrial zone groundwater is contaminated and unsafe for human consumption. WQI shows that 60% of groundwater is unfit in both seasons. Evaporation and rock-water interaction alter the area's groundwater chemistry. Hydrogeochemical facies diagrams show alternating alkaline and alkali dominance, as well as strong and weak acids. According to correlation matrices, all analytical parameters except pH have a positive correlation. Four basic components and a cluster contribute to understanding industrial pollution. Novelty: (i) The present study integrates LULC changes and hydrogeochemistry for the evaluation of groundwater quality. (ii) The comprehensive approach of analyzing LULC changes in conjunction with evaluating the groundwater geochemistry gives new insights in groundwater management for the long-term development of any region. https://www.indjst.org/

“…The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is an excellent method for identifying the river basin's groundwater potential zones (Saaty 1990; Castillo et al 2022). It allows to breakdown the problem into a hierarchy and includes both qualitative and quantitative aspects throughout the evaluation process (Mallick et al 2019;Senapati and Das 2022).…”

Water plays a crucial role in the functioning of modern, developed and developing society, is essential for sustenance of life. Proper water resource management and protection are brought difficulties by population increase, rising demand on water and land resources due to competitive consumption, and degradation of restricted water resources in many regions of the world. Besides adequate rainfall, the study area experiences a water shortage for drinking and irrigation throughout the summer months. To address these issue groundwater potential zones of the study area has been carried out. Groundwater potential zones are delineated using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS). The purpose of study was to delineate groundwater potential zones in Bichhiya river sub basin, Central India and to find the relevant aspects that influence the availability of groundwater resources. The study examined the impact of seven factors on groundwater recharge, including geology, geomorphology, land use and land cover, lineament density, drainage density, slope, and soil type. Spatially distributed maps/thematic layers of all the aforementioned criteria were constructed in a GIS context utilizing both remotely sensed and ground truth data. The weights and characteristics of the thematic layers were then normalized using the AHP approach. Groundwater potential zones are delineated and interpreted according to appropriate assigned weights; the zones are divided into high (29.25%), moderate (55.80%) and low (14.94%) groundwater potential zones. The results reflect that geospatial approaches may be important tools for planning and managing surface and subsurface water resources. The outcome of the research work is validated by randomly picking 50 dug wells from the study area using a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. The Area under the ROC Curve (AUC) value of the data comes 0.821 indicating better accuracy of the result. These findings will help researchers and stakeholders to locate appropriate locations with the potential for groundwater. To manage groundwater resources, numerous artificial recharge structures are proposed. Overall, the results show that remote sensing and GIS have the potential to be significant tools for better planning and management of the water resources of the area. This is a reliable strategy for investigating groundwater resources in inaccessible places which might be used to manage groundwater resources more effectively.
