像伊拉克这样的干旱和半干旱地区不仅降水量有限,而且对雨水用于农业的管理不善。雨水收集的一种技术是在雨季收集多余的径流水,并在干旱期间将其储存用于农业目的。遥感(RS)和地理信息系统(GIS)被广泛用于确定合适的RWH网站。在这项研究中,采用了综合方法,以确定合适的RWH网站在伊拉克基尔库克市。这些方法与多标准决策分析(MCDA)方法相结合,以评估对RWH选址有重大贡献的参数。专题层,如径流深度,坡度,排水,土地利用/土地覆盖,以及它们的功能被分配适当的权重,然后集成在一个GIS中,以生成研究区的RWH潜力图。还确定了不同RWH结构的合适位置,例如农场池塘和检查坝。研究区可分为3个潜在的RWH区:高适宜区(8.2%或399.75),中等适宜区(63.4%或3,090.75)和低适宜区(28.4%或1,384.5)。约3.7%的研究面积(181.6)适合农场池塘,而4%(197)适合检查坝。综合遥感,地理信息系统和MCDA技术被认为是一个具有成本效益和环境友好的方式来回收雨水和选择合适的RWH网站。
Arid and semi-arid areas such as Iraq suffer not only from limited precipitation but also from poor management of rainwater for agricultural use. One technique for rainwater harvesting (RWH) is to collect excess runoff water during the rainy season and store it for agricultural purposes during dry spells. Remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) are widely used to identify suitable RWH sites. In this study, an integrated approach was adopted to determine suitable RWH sites in Kirkuk City, Iraq. The methods were integrated with the multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method to evaluate the parameters that significantly contribute to RWH site selection. Thematic layers, such as runoff depth, slope, drainage, and land use/land cover, as well as their features were assigned suitable weights and then integrated in a GIS to generate a RWH potential map of the study area. Suitable sites for different RWH structures, such as farm ponds and check dams, were also identified. The study area can be classified into three potential RWH zones: high suitability zone (8.2% or 399.75 ), moderate suitability zone (63.4% or 3,090.75 ), and low suitability zone (28.4% or 1,384.5 ). Around 3.7% of the study area (181.6 ) is suitable for farm ponds while 4% (197 ) is suitable for check dams. The integrated RS, GIS, and MCDA techniques were found to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to recover rainwater and select suitable RWH sites.
