Delineating Zones of Groundwater Recharging Potential using Geospatial Techniques Integrated with GRA-TOPSIS - A Case Study of Wassa West District of the Republic of Ghana
Abstract: Identifying and analyzing environmental parameters for assessing groundwater existence and recharge potential using geospatial techniques is crucial and cost effective, particularly for areas where surface water is contamination due to illegal mining activities. In this study, GIS and Multi-criteria decision analysis tool, GRA-TOPSIS, were used to identify groundwater recharge zones in the Wassa West District of Ghana. The study considered geo-environmental factors such as slope, soil types and lithology, land …

Physiographic, Climatic, and Hydrogeological Determinants of Urban Flooding in Bhopal: A Spatial Assessment
Abstract: Bhopal, capital city of Madhya Pradesh, is uniquely shaped by hilly terrain, lake systems, and complex hydrogeological characteristics, which historically supported efficient natural drainage. However, rapid urbanization, encroachment, and alterations in land use have increasingly disrupted these natural systems, amplifying the city’s susceptibility to urban flooding. The city’s physiography, defined by five major hills, undulating slopes, and a network of natural drainage channels, directs runoff toward low-lying zones that frequently …
