Evaluation of Sanliurfa Karakopru basin groundwater potential for sustainability with GIS-based AHP and TOPSIS methods

Recently, the development and change of information and communication technologies has increased. Therefore, this situation has led to the diversification of information sources, the change in the dimensions of information services, and the emergence of different information and learning environments. In the light of this information, especially groundwater potential is one of the fields of study that is very suitable for technological developments. In terms of evaluating the groundwater potential, making the right choice in transferring it to the computer technology system is important for the satisfaction of the institution, the person and the private sector that will drill. The most ideal order of criteria used for groundwater potential of the research area has gained great value by considering a large number of qualitative and quantitative parameters. After determining the weights of the criteria using the GIS-supported AHP technique, the existing criteria were evaluated using the TOPSIS technique in accordance with the method of the study in the application made in the area where the drillings are located.
