Spatial analysis reveals optimal sites for a desalination plant in Basra Governorate, highlighting critical criteria for site selection.

The analytic hierarchy process and TOPSIS modeling identified five suitability zones for desalination sites.
The study found that approximately 40% of the area is classified as very low to low suitability.
Distance from water bodies was weighted most heavily at 0.22 in the site selection process.
These findings provide a scientific framework for effective decision-making in water resource management.

Abdullah et al. (2025) studied this question.
