Abstract—Groundwater is an important resource for human growth to the planet’s most plentiful freshwater supply. Its significance extends beyond drinking water supply to include vital roles in irrigation and economics activities, particularly in the region. However, population increase, and poor management pose a threat to the amount and quality of groundwater in many emerging nations. The paper develops an integrated remote access to the Analytic Hierarch y process, Analytic Hierarchy Process-Geographic Information Systems (AHP-GIS), and sensing to find out geoenvironmental parameters groundwater potential zones (GWPZs) in semi-arid regions. By serving many factors, including relief land use and hydrological data, we produced a groundwater potential map that facilitates sustainable water management. Our results highlight the vitality of systematic evaluation and evidence-based decision-making in groundwater resources, the papers provide valuable new information management, as well as the demand for prudent regulation to prevent over-exploitation. Water resources are limited within the region, the research provides valuable new information on groundwater evaluation, agricultural productivity can be increased.

Keywords—groundwater, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), remote sensing, geospatial analysis
