Abstract

Groundwater is an important component of the hydrological cycle and a critical resource for ecosystems and human life on Earth. Estimating groundwater levels is important for strategic planning and management in many areas such as agriculture, industry, engineering studies, and drinking water. In particular, it is necessary to determine the groundwater accurately and clearly to carry out both ground and hydraulic works. In this study, the estimation of the groundwater level of Diyarbakır province was made by analytical hierarchy method. Groundwater level estimation was made using slope, geology, geomorphology, land use, precipitation, fault density, drainage density classes. Especially in areas where data supply is short, positive and accurate results can be obtained with AHP, which is a fast and practical application. It is expected that the findings obtained will benefit public and private institutions and organizations for future studies.

Analitik hiyerarşi yöntemi ile yeraltı suyu seviyesi tahmini

Abstract

Yeraltı suyu, hidrolojik döngünün önemli bir bileşenidir ve Dünya'daki ekosistemler ve insan yaşamı için kritik bir kaynaktır. Yeraltı suyu seviyelerinin tahmini, tarım, sanayi, mühendislik çalışmaları ve içme suyu gibi birçok alanda stratejik planlama ve yönetim için önemlidir. Özellikle hem zemin hem de hidrolik işlerin yapılabilmesi için yeraltı suyunun doğru ve net bir şekilde belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Diyarbakır ilinin yeraltı suyu seviyesinin tahmini analitik hiyerarşi yöntemi ile yapılmıştır. Eğim, jeoloji, jeomorfoloji, arazi kullanımı, yağış, fay yoğunluğu, drenaj yoğunluk sınıfları kullanılarak yeraltı suyu seviyesi tahmini yapılmıştır. Özellikle veri tedariğinin kısa olduğu alanlarda hızlı ve pratik bir uygulama olan AHP ile olumlu ve doğru sonuçlar alınabilmektedir. Elde edilen bulguların ileride yapılacak çalışmalar için kamu ve özel kurum ve kuruluşlara fayda sağlaması beklenmektedir.
