This study attempts to characterize and interpret the groundwater quality (GWQ) using a GIS environment multivariate statistical approach (MSA) for Jakham River Basin (JRB) in Southern Rajasthan. In this paper, analysis of various indicators such as Water Quality Index (WQI) methods, i.e., principal component correspondence (PCA CA), were implemented on pre post-monsoon water datasets. All these methods help identify most critical factor controlling GWQ potable water. pre-monsoon (PRM) (POM)...

This study addresses the challenges of flash flood susceptibility mapping in Yemen's Qaa'Jahran Basin, characterized by complex terrain and limited hydro-meteorological data. To enhance predictive accuracy, we integrate metaheuristic feature selection with ensemble learning models. Initially, fifteen variables were retrieved using Geographic Information System (GIS) based remote sensing, setting stage for a novel algorithm. Then, Memo Search Algorithm (MSA), approach is proposed to...
