An integrated geospatial multi-influencing factor approach to delineate and identify groundwater potential zones in Kabul Province, Afghanistan

This study evaluated the spatial distribution of groundwater potential zones in Kabul Province, Afghanistan using geospatial multi-influencing factor approach. The influencing parameters employed for assessment were land slope, geology, soil type, use/land cover, lineament density, rainfall, and drainage density. subclasses within each parameter subdivided based on their influence as major, minor, no effect, subsequently assigned a score value. combined value these was used calculating relative weights. delineated classified four groups, i.e., poor, moderate, good, very good. results revealed that with good covered an area 355 km2 (2% total area), 1524 (20%), moderate 2251 (73%), poor 477 (5%). concluded geospatial-assisted approach useful efficient technique can be effectively to enhance conceptual understanding resources Basin, Afghanistan.
