dc.description.abstractThe human-induced water use changes and the climate change effects have impartially led to long-term drought, water shortages and some casual flood incidents. These have greatly impacted the northern region of Iraq over the past few decades. Water resource management has become a key to resolve this dilemma, particularly for the arid and semi-arid areas. Harvested water could be exploited for consumption, domestic and animal use. Moreover, it is considered to be a valuable resource for irrigating agricultural lands. This study aims to identify appropriate sites for rainwater harvesting in the Sulaymaniyah province, Iraqi Kurdistan region. These processes have been done by using remote sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) model has been used to find out suitable locations for water harvesting. The criteria considered were runoff, slope, soil type, land cover and drainage density. Each factor is assigned to its weight depending on its effect. Based on the findings, the average region that is outstanding and very well suited for water collection is 32% of the whole area. The model that has been applied in the current study is extremely significant and supportive for water resource management. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
