Application of extreme gradient boosting and parallel random forest algorithms for assessing groundwater spring potential using DEM-derived factors
Groundwater resources provide a large share of the world’s water demand for various sectors such as agriculture, industry, and drinking water. Particularly in the Middle East's arid and semi-arid regions, with surface water scarcity and high evaporation, groundwater is a valuable commodity. Yet, groundwater data are often incomplete or nonexistent. Therefore, it is a challenge to achieve a groundw
