Abstract

Groundwater, a vital resource for various human activities and ecosystems, necessitates efficient management and sustainable utilization. Groundwater potential zone mapping plays a pivotal role in identifying area where groundwater resources are abundant, thereby aiding decision-makers in optimal resource allocation. This review paper presents an in-depth analysis of diverse methods employed for groundwater potential zone mapping, offering a comprehensive overview of their strengths, weaknesses, and recent advancements. The review covers traditional methods rooted in hydrogeological principles as well as modern techniques that harness the power of geospatial technologies and machine learning. Furthermore, the paper explores the integration of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) for spatial data analysis, emphasizing their role in enhancing the accuracy of potential zone mapping. In the context of recent advancements, the review sheds light on the emergence of hybrid methods that combine the strengths of multiple approaches, resulting in improved prediction accuracy and robustness. Challenges associated with each method, such as data quality, model complexity, and interpretability, are critically examined, providing insights into the potential limitations and avenues for improvement. The review also emphasizes the importance of validation and uncertainty assessment ensuring the reliability of potential zone mapping results. Finally, this review paper serves as a comprehensive guide for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in groundwater resource management. By offering a holistic understanding of the diverse methods available for groundwater potential zone mapping, this paper contributes to informed decision-making and the advancement of sustainable groundwater management practices.
地下水资源勘探与制图方法综述
地下水是各种人类活动和生态系统的重要资源,必须进行有效管理和可持续利用。地下水潜力带制图对于确定地下水资源丰富的区域,从而帮助决策者进行资源优化配置具有关键作用。这篇综述文章深入分析了用于地下水潜势带测绘的各种方法,全面概述了它们的优缺点和最新进展。该综述涵盖了基于水文地质原理的传统方法,以及利用地理空间技术和机器学习力量的现代技术。进一步探讨了遥感与地理信息系统(GIS)在空间数据分析中的集成,强调了它们在提高潜在区域制图精度方面的作用。在最近的进展背景下,该综述揭示了混合方法的出现,结合了多种方法的优势,从而提高了预测的准确性和稳健性。与每种方法相关的挑战,如数据质量、模型复杂性和可解释性,都经过严格的检查,提供了对潜在限制和改进途径的见解。综述还强调了验证和不确定度评估的重要性,以确保潜在区域测绘结果的可靠性。最后,本文为从事地下水资源管理的研究人员、实践者和决策者提供了全面的指导。通过全面了解地下水潜在带测绘的各种方法,本文有助于明智的决策和可持续地下水管理实践的推进。
