“…As a result, they have an important influence on the movement and storage of groundwater [Castillo et al, 2022]. Greater lineament density (LD) values signify increased recharge and, hence, enhanced hydrogeological potential [Tiwari et al, 2019]. Therefore, high-density classes received a high rank, and low-density classes were assigned a low rank (Table 4).…”

This study aimed to assess the groundwater potential zones (GWPZ) in northern Morocco's Upper Oum Er-Rbia Basin (UOER). In such a semi-arid context, groundwater resources are crucial to sustaining essential human activities, but they are under stress due to increased overuse and climate change. This investigation utilized remote sensing in a GIS framework along with a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) technique using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for the first time in this region. Ten thematic layers were created, representing the most significant parameters, which were then weighted and overlaid. The output map shows five levels of potential: very low, low, medium, high, and very high, covering 12%, 19%, 20%, 27%, and 22% of the basin area, respectively. Comparing the assessment results to the borehole yield, the AUC-ROC curve showed a value of 84.5%, which testifies to the excellent performance of the methodology used. Of the 10 criteria used, lithology was shown to be the most significant factor, followed by LULC, slope, and geomorphology. The study results offer an extensive insight into the hydrogeological potential of the UOER basin. These findings are essential for decision-makers and encourage the efficient utilization of groundwater resources, thus supporting broader objectives of sustainable development.

“…The presence of vegetation increases the infiltration capacity. At the same time, forest areas create unfavorable conditions for groundwater recharging mainly due to the high evapotranspiration rates over forested areas, caused mostly by vegetation with deep roots [31]. Further, excessive interception under forest cover affects the groundwater recharging process by limiting available water for recharging [29].…”

Application of GIS Techniques in Identifying Artificial Groundwater Recharging Zones in Arid Regions: A Case Study in Tissamaharama, Sri Lanka

Groundwater resources are severely threatened not only in terms of their quality but also their quantity. The availability of groundwater in arid regions is highly important as it caters to domestic needs, irrigation, and industrial purposes in those areas. With the increasing population and human needs, artificial recharging of groundwater has become an important topic because of rainfall scarcity, high evaporation, and shortage of surface water resources in arid regions. However, this has been given the minimum attention in the context of Sri Lanka. Therefore, the current research was carried out to demarcate suitable sites for the artificial recharging of aquifers with the help of geographic information system (GIS) techniques, in one of the water-scarce regions in Sri Lanka. Tissamaharama District Secretariat Division (DSD) is located in Hambanthota district. This region faces periodic water stress with a low-intensity seasonal rainfall pattern and a lack of surface water sources. Hydrological, geological, and geomorphological parameters such as rainfall, soil type, slope, drainage density, and land use patterns were considered to be the most influential parameters in determining the artificial recharging potential in the study area. The GIS tools were used to carry out a weighted overlay analysis to integrate the effects of each parameter into the potential for artificial groundwater recharge. The result of the study shows that 14.60% of the area in the Tissamaharama DSD has a very good potential for artificial groundwater recharge, while 41.32% has a good potential and 39.03% and 5.05% have poor and very poor potential for artificial groundwater recharge, respectively. The southern part of the DSD and the Yala nature reserve areas are observed to have a higher potential for artificial groundwater recharge than the other areas of Tissamaharama DSD. It is recommended to test the efficiency and effects of groundwater recharge using groundwater models by simulating the effects of groundwater recharge in future studies. Therefore, the results of the current research will be helpful in effectively managing the groundwater resources in the study area.

“…Drainage density may be defined as the closeness in the spacing of the stream channels which can be defined as the total length of the stream segment of all orders per unit area. It indicates the density of stream channels in the river basin (Tiwari et al 2019), and greater the density, the greater will be the dissection of the topography and more will be the soil erosion. The drainage density of the basin was calculated using the Horton's method (Horton 1945) following Eq.…”

Soil erosion induced by physical and anthropogenic activities needs serious concern to deal with. In recent days, watersheds have been facing acute soil loss because of deforestation, poor land use management and unscientific agricultural practices. The present paper highlights the goal to decipher soil erosion-susceptible zones in a rain-fed river basin of India having a complex topography comprising the extension of Chotonagpur plateau and parts of Bengal basin. Fuzzy logic algorithmbased analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) with remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) were used to execute the objective. The soil erosion-susceptible zone (SESZ) was identified assimilating the 14 geo-environmental, hydrometeorological and anthropogenic conditioning factors such as slope, drainage density, relative relief, stream power index, topographic wetness index, runoff, soil texture, land use and land cover, rainfall erosivity factor, distance from road, distance from settlement, distance from river, geomorphology and soil bareness index based on which sub-basin prioritization for sustainable soil conservation was made. The soil erosion-susceptible zone was classified into five classes, namely very low soil erosion zone (13.20%), low soil erosion zone (25.75%), moderate soil erosion zone (27.62%), high soil erosion zone (21.90%) and very high soil erosion zone (11.53%). Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was generated where area under the curve (AUC) came as 0.82 and a correspondence analysis between the SESZ and the first three ranked factors was also made which together proves the accuracy of the model. KeywordsFuzzy AHP • Soil erosion-susceptible zone (SESZ) • Receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC) • Area under the curve (AUC)
