“…Among the variables, topography has the least impact. However, the degree of slope, which varies across different areas, controls the likelihood of rainfall runoff or retention long enough for infiltration (Abdalla et al 2020;Janarthanan and Thirukumaran, 2020). Therefore, the slope of Jedeb watershed that represents topography will be reclassified and analyzed in this study.…”

The hydrogeological situation of the study area requires the identification of groundwater potential. Remote sensing and satellite data have proven to be reliable tools for understanding various factors that affect groundwater occurrence and movement. This study employed weighted overlay analysis based on satellite imagery and secondary data to create a thematic map for characterizing groundwater potentials in the study area located within Abbay Basin, Ethiopia. Remote sensing (RS) and GIS-based Fuzzy-Analytical Hierarchy Process methods were utilized to classify groundwater potential (GWP) zones into five categories: Very good, good, moderate, poor, and very poor. The central and eastern parts of the study area were identified as having high (33.186%) and very high (2.351%) groundwater potentials, while the western part exhibited poor and very poor potential areas. The groundwater potential map delineated higher and moderate potentials, suitable for installing shallow and production bores. This research demonstrates the effectiveness of RS and GIS techniques for delineating groundwater potential zones, which can aid in the planning and management of groundwater resources. The research findings have the potential to contribute to the formulation of improved groundwater management programs in the study area.

“…Sustainable growth in these regions thus depends on the provision of GW resources. Several studies have been conducted in the Egyptian deserts to determine whether GW is available for long-term development via various geologic, geophysical, and remote applications (Moubark and Abdelkareem 2018;Abdalla et al 2020;El-Rawy et al 2020;El-Din et al 2021).…”

The paper aims to study the physio‐chemical parameters of Wadi Feiran groundwater and classify it for use for drinking and irrigation. Twenty water samples collected from the WF have revealed a number of physio‐chemical parameters such as pH, TDS, SAR, EC, ions (Na+, Mg+2, Ca+2, K+, Cl−, SO4−2, NO3−, and HCO3−), and trace elements (U, Pb, Cd, Zr, and Fe). The study clarified that the major ion parameters are within the permissible limits according to WHO 2018, except for Ca+2, Cl−, SO4−2, and NO3−, but trace elements have high concentrations, except for Zn. To recognize the association between groundwater quality parameters and their collective impact on whole groundwater quality, correlation coefficient, factor, and cluster multivariate statistical analyses were carried out and confirmed with the constructed LU/LC map. These revealed that the increase of TDS, EC, Cl, SO4, Na, Mg, and NO3 is attributed to rainfall, leakage of municipal sewage Nile water, and human actions. GIS approaches were used to create thematic layers from groundwater physio‐chemical parameters, which were then weighted and combined to produce a groundwater quality model. This model was classified into potable, marginal, and un‐potable water. Potable and marginal water can be used for drinking and irrigation, but un‐potable water can only be used for irrigation.

“…They reveal below lithologic and geomorphic features that have positive relationships to the occurrence of groundwater [35]. In addition, the altitude is also an important index of controlling the occurrence of the groundwater as it is widely employed in mapping GWPZs [2,36] and is extremely necessary for groundwater prospection studies. The areas of low elevations are positively related to infiltration, particularly depression areas [2,7].…”

Remote sensing and GIS approaches have provided valuable information on modeling water resources, particularly in arid regions. The Sahara of North Africa, which is one of the driest regions on Earth, experienced several pluvial conditions in the past that could have stored significant amounts of groundwater. Thus, harvesting the stored water by revealing the groundwater prospective zones (GWPZs) is highly important to water security and the management of water resources which are necessary for sustainable development in such regions. The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model (DEM), Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS)/Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), and Landsat-8 OLI data have all successfully revealed the geologic, geomorphic, climatic, and hydrologic features of Wadi El-Tarfa east of Egypt’s Nile River. The fusion of eleven predictive GIS maps including lithology, radar intensity, lineament density, altitude, slope, depressions, curvature, topographic wetness index (TWI), drainage density, runoff, and rainfall data, after being ranked and normalized through the GIS-based analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted overlay methods, allowed the GWPZs to be demarcated. The resulting GWPZs map was divided into five classes: very high, high, moderate, low, and very low potentiality, which cover about 10.32, 24.98, 30.47, 24.02, and 10.20% of the entire basin area, respectively. Landsat-8 and its derived NDVI that was acquired on 15 March 2014, after the storm of 8–9 March 2014, along with existing well locations validated the GWPZs map. The overall results showed that an integrated approach of multi-criteria through a GIS-based AHP has the capability of modeling groundwater resources in arid regions. Additionally, probing areas of GWPZs is helpful to planners and decision-makers dealing with the development of arid regions.
