Overview

This study identifies optimal rainwater harvesting sites using geospatial technologies in northern Iraq, suggesting improved sustainability.

Key Points

  • The study identifies suitable sites for rainwater harvesting, enhancing water availability in agriculture.
  • Using criteria like soil type and slope, the method resulted in a suitability map with very high suitability at 10.2%.
  • An integrated approach combining remote sensing, GIS, and MCDA demonstrated effective site selection for rainwater harvesting.
  • This methodology highlights the potential for sustainable agricultural planning in water-stressed environments.
