Mapping of Groundwater, Flood, and Drought Potential Zones in Neom, Saudi Arabia, Using GIS and Remote Sensing Techniques

Neom is expected to face climate and environmental challenges, including the provision of water mitigation flood drought risks. The field data for identifying potential risk zones are limited. I utilized remote sensing geographic information system (GIS) techniques identify such zones. datasets used here included drainage density, lineament precipitation, elevation, lithology, slope, soil, land use/land cover. These were analyzed using a weighted overlay analysis in GIS environment. successfully mapped groundwater, flood, Neom. zone with good groundwater covered 515 km2 Neom, whereas 11,562, 10,616, 289 had moderate, poor, very poor chance having respectively. area lowest danger only 195 km2, areas low, high flooding 4355, 13,542, 4910 land, results showed that low risks associated 4322 44 In turn, 10,615 8266 region at moderate risk,
