GIS-Based Groundwater Potential Assessment in Varied Topographic Areas of Mianyang City, Southwestern China, Using AHP

Mianyang City is located in the varied topographic areas of Sichuan Province in southwestern China and is characterized by a complex geological background. This area is prone to disasters and its varied topography is inconvenient for emergency water storage and supply. Groundwater is essential for a...
