Özet:

 Groundwater is one of the most important sources of freshwater, especially in areas suffering from scarcity of surface water or limited water resources. This research aims to identify potential areas for groundwater in Thi_Qar Governorate using Geographic Information Systems GIS and Remote Sensing RS techniques. Multiple data sources, including satellite images, digital elevation model DEM, soil and geology maps, and land use land cover data, were collected and analyzed to determine the factors affecting groundwater distribution. The research was based on creating a model through which multiple variables were analyzed using Analytical Hierarchy Process AHP. These factors were combined using equations within a GIS environment to produce a final map showing areas with high groundwater potential. The results showed that areas with very high groundwater potential are mainly concentrated in the marshlands areas Al-Hammar, Al-Chibayish in the southern and southeast parts of the Thi_Qar Governorate. Additional field studies are recommended to validate the results and enhance accuracy.
