Land subsidence susceptibility mapping using PWRSTFAL framework and analytic hierarchy process: fuzzy method (case study: Damaneh-Daran Plain in the west of Isfahan Province, Iran).

Land subsidence susceptibility mapping is a necessary prerequisite for land subsidence management. Proper assessment of land subsidence requires determining parameters affecting subsidence to discover the spatial relationships with subsidence. For this purpose, two frameworks were prepared, according to the land site subsidence, eight parameters affecting the subsidence in the Damaneh-Daran plain.

Multi-objective optimal model for sustainable management of groundwater resources in an arid and semiarid area using a coupled optimization-simulation modeling.

Excessive exploitation of groundwater resources can increase the concentration of pollutants in addition to the progressive drawdown of groundwater table. In this research, to achieve aquifer quantitative and qualitative (QQ) sustainable development, an optimal scenario for withdrawing from operation wells is proposed. At the first step, the aquifer QQ simulation was carried out with the GMS model.
