Identifying And Mapping Ground Water Potential Zone Using Geospatial Technology: A Case Of Adama City, Oromia, Ethioipa

Abstract

This Study Focuses On The Assessment And Mapping Of Groundwater Potential Zones In Adama City Using Geospatial Technology. By Integrating Remote Sensing Data, Geographic Information Systems (Gis), And Hydrogeological Parameters, The Research Aims To Identify And Delineate Areas With Varying Groundwater Potentials. Key Factors Such As Land Use, Soil Type, Slope, Rainfall, And Drainage Density Were Analyzed To Create A Comprehensive Groundwater Potential Map. The Results Reveal Distinct Zones With High, Moderate, And Low Groundwater Potential, Providing Valuable Insights For Urban Planning And Sustainable Water Resource Management. This Geospatial Approach Offers A Systematic And Efficient Method For Groundwater Assessment, Supporting Informed Decision-Making And Contributing To The Long-Term Water Security Of Adama City.
