Abstract

The cluster-wise area of shallow and deep aquifer zones is used to estimate the potential of groundwater. The potential of the shallow aquifer zone is estimated at 4.61 MCM (million cubic meters) and for the deep aquifer zone at 17,509.03 MCM, while the total groundwater potential for both aquifer zones is estimated at 17,513.64 MCM. The Geographical Information System (GIS) was employed efficiently to estimate the subsurface volume of the lithological rock layers using cost-effective and time-saving techniques, while the Rockwork software integrated with GIS was successfully used to visualize the subsurface lithology and stratigraphy of the aquifer zones. The estimated potential of groundwater can be uncovered by using the alternative solar pumping system to improve the agricultural system in the study area, thereby reducing the migration rate, reducing poverty, and improving the socio-economic conditions of livelihood. In the future, too, it will be essential to design water quality studies to ensure the proper use of groundwater.
基于GIS的农业可持续地下水潜力区研究:干旱地区
浅层和深层含水层的聚类区域用于估计地下水的潜力。浅层含水层的潜力估计为461百万立方米,深层含水层为17509.03百万立方米,而两个含水层的地下水总潜力估计为17513.64百万立方米。地理信息系统(GIS)被有效地用于使用具有成本效益和省时的技术来估计岩性岩层的地下体积,而与GIS集成的Rockwork软件被成功地用于可视化含水层的地下岩性和地层。可以通过使用替代太阳能抽水系统来改善研究区域的农业系统,从而降低移民率,减少贫困,改善社会经济生活条件,从而揭示地下水的估计潜力。在未来,设计水质研究以确保地下水的正确利用也将是至关重要的。
