USING THE GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) AND REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES FOR MAPPING THE GROUNDWATER POTENTIAL ZONES IN KG TIMBANG DAYANG, KOTA BELUD, SABAH

The growing demand for groundwater is due to several reasons such as the increment of population, agriculture, pollution, industrialization and urbanization. This study aims to map the groundwater potential zones by using the Geographical Information System (GIS) with remote sensing techniques in the study area. The study area is located at Kg Timbang Dayang and its surrounding at Kota Belud, Sabah. Eight parameters were studied that affect the occurrence of groundwater in the study area. Those parameters are obtained from existing maps, remote sensing imagery and associated databases. The par... Mehr ...
