5 Conclusion
The present research has shown the abilities of AHP with geoinformatics coupled
with fuzzy logic techniques for the identification of groundwater recharge potential
zones, specifically over a data-scarce region. Based on the results of this research,
it can be concluded that the applied methodology is a valuable framework for the
prompt evaluation of groundwater recharge potential and can be suggested to be
implemented in other areas, especially in areas having insufficient ground data.
Therefore, the outcome of this study can also be utilized for developing irrigation
facilities in the future, which in turn will accelerate the crop production. The study
