Application of analytical hierarchy process to assess groundwater potential for a sustainable management in the Menoua Division.

ABSTRACT: Number of wells drilled by private and public stakeholders, as well as nongovernmental organizations in the Menoua Division are unproductive. This is due to the lack of preliminary surveys assessing groundwater potential (GWP). A combined remote sensing (RS) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) approach handled on a geographic information system (GIS) environment is efficient for such an investigation. For this article, seven environmental parameters, with significant contribution to groundwater occurrence, are integrated. Those parameters are drainage density, elevation, lineament density, land use/land cover (LULC), rainfall, slope, and topographic wetness index (TWI). RS and GIS techniques said to be quick and simple for exploring GWP whatever the geological settings, have the advanta
