Hydro-geospatial modelling of groundwater potential zones in the soar valley and adjacent terrains of the Kumaon Lesser Himalaya using an integrated AHP–GIS framework
Groundwater depletion has emerged as a critical challenge for sustainable urban development, particularly in the Himalayan terrain where complex terrain, geological heterogeneity, and dynamic environmental conditions hinder recharge processes. The present study delineates groundwater potential zones (GWPZs) in the dens...
