Ground Water Potential Map, a Key Tool for the Exploration of Aquifers Hosted in Alluvial and Fractured Rocks in the Berbera Area (Somaliland)
摘要
With time and cost savings, this work aims to identify in a very remote area of the Sahel: (1) the areas where aquifer infiltration and recharge are promoted; and (2) the potential areas where the drilling rate of productive aquifers is high. Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System and Multi-Criteria Analysis are the tools used in this work to elaborate the Ground Water Potential (GWP) maps. The results obtained on the basis of satellite imagery will be compared with ground geophysical data.
