I am working on the Identification of potential groundwater zones using AHP and MCDA.
The drainage density value ranges from -ve to +ve, whereas the range of waterbodies in LULC is always +ve. so, what is the outcome due to the overlap of these factors while ranking them differently and analyzing them simultaneously since both are waterbodies and cannot be ignored.
The impact of overlapping drainage density and waterbodies in LULC (Land Use and Land Cover) in determining groundwater can be significant. Drainage density and waterbodies can impact the amount of runoff and infiltration, which ultimately affects the amount of groundwater available. For example, areas of high drainage density, such as urban areas, can lead to rapid runoff and less infiltration, resulting in less groundwater recharge. Similarly, waterbodies such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands can act as barriers to infiltration, reducing the amount of groundwater that can reach deeper aquifers. Therefore, careful consideration of LULC in the watershed can help to ensure adequate groundwater availability.
