Identifying suitable dam sites using geospatial data and machine learning: a case study of the katsina-ala river in Benue State, Nigeria

Sustainable water resource management in Nigeria faces significant challenges due to suboptimal dam site selection, exacerbating flood risks and inefficient water utilization. This study addresses this gap by developing a robust geospatial and machine learning-integrated Multi-Criteria Decision Anal...
