Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to presenting the optimization method employed, which primarily utilizes the functionalities provided by GIS (geographic information systems) and remote sensing for data structuring, cross-referencing information layers, and spatial analysis across various themes. It incorporates a multicriteria hierarchical analysis approach, enabling the integration of multiple decision criteria into a unified model. This approach involves conducting comparative evaluations of each pair of criteria and calculating their weights for the comparative assessment of each pair of options concerning each sub-criterion. Both methods employed showcase a robust multicriteria decision support tool. It is noteworthy that ensuring the validity of the SCS-CN procedure necessitates the incorporation of other supply models to enhance the accuracy of determining suitable locations for water accumulation structures.
