Abstract

Water is a vital resource used in effective sanitation, hygiene, drinking and agricultural uses. This study was in Obudu Plateau covering an area of 3,053.08km2. Analysis of remote sensing, geographic information system (GIS), and global positioning system (GPS) data obtained from satellite imageries and digital elevation model (DEM) assessed groundwater potential. The model was validated using borehole data in the area. Thematic layers of geology, lineament density, slope, geomorphology, land use and land cover and drainage density were integrated using GIS software. Multicriteria evaluation of the layers was by analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Pairwise comparison matrix shows consistency the consistency ratio is 0.07 or 7%. This shows the comparison of groundwater controlling factors is within acceptable limit of consistency. Overlay analysis produced groundwater potential map classified into five zones of very high 2.66% (81.31km2), high 6.92% (211.38km2) very low 9.60% (292.69km2), moderate 46.95% (1,433.46 km2) and low 33.87% (1,034.23km2). Structural geological setting determines largely the suitability of an area to groundwater occurrence. Overlaying each thematic layer with lineament density map produced a more credible groundwater potential model compared to preceding related works. This method is suitable for both local and regional groundwater development.

地理信息学和层次分析法(AHP)在尼日利亚东南部巴门达高原奥布杜高原地下水潜力建模中的应用
水是一种重要资源,可用于有效的卫生设施、个人卫生、饮用和农业用途。本研究在奥布都高原进行,覆盖面积为 3,053.08 平方公里。通过分析从卫星图像和数字高程模型(DEM)中获得的遥感、地理信息系统(GIS)和全球定位系统(GPS)数据,对地下水潜力进行了评估。利用该地区的钻孔数据对模型进行了验证。使用地理信息系统软件整合了地质、线状密度、坡度、地貌、土地利用和土地覆盖以及排水密度等专题图层。采用层次分析法(AHP)对图层进行多标准评估。配对比较矩阵显示了一致性,一致性比率为 0.07 或 7%。这表明地下水控制因素的比较在可接受的一致性范围内。叠加分析得出的地下水潜势图分为五个区域:极高 2.66%(81.31 平方公里)、高 6.92%(211.38 平方公里)、极低 9.60%(292.69 平方公里)、中等 46.95%(1,433.46 平方公里)和低 33.87%(1,034.23 平方公里)。构造地质环境在很大程度上决定了一个地区是否适合出现地下水。与之前的相关工作相比,将每个专题层与线状密度图叠加,可生成更可靠的地下水潜势模型。这种方法适用于地方和区域地下水开发。

期刊介绍: Applied Geomatics (AGMJ) is the official journal of SIFET the Italian Society of Photogrammetry and Topography and covers all aspects and information on scientific and technical advances in the geomatics sciences. The Journal publishes innovative contributions in geomatics applications ranging from the integration of instruments, methodologies and technologies and their use in the environmental sciences, engineering and other natural sciences. The areas of interest include many research fields such as: remote sensing, close range and videometric photogrammetry, image analysis, digital mapping, land and geographic information systems, geographic information science, integrated geodesy, spatial data analysis, heritage recording; network adjustment and numerical processes. Furthermore, Applied Geomatics is open to articles from all areas of deformation measurements and analysis, structural engineering, mechanical engineering and all trends in earth and planetary survey science and space technology. The Journal also contains notices of conferences and international workshops, industry news, and information on new products. It provides a useful forum for professional and academic scientists involved in geomatics science and technology.
