Determining the Best Site Location for Underground Dams Using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process: A Case in the Sunyani West District
Author(s): Emmanuel Adjei Damfeh*, Adebayo Felix Adakoya and Benjamin Asubam Wayor
Surface water resources in Ghana have recently been overexploited owing to the resurgence of small-scale mining and other
human activities that deplete these resources. These activities need discussions regarding groundwater and its optimal use.
This study investigates underground dams in Ghana, especially the use of a multi-criteria decision-making procedure to
help choose appropriate areas. This study outlines a number of characteristics or criteria that are unclear, confusing, or
unsure in real-world circumstances. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to capture any ambiguity any criterion
under consideration provides and perform pairwise matrix comparisons to select the optimal position among a collection of
candidate sites. This study focuses on seven agricultural settlements in the Sunyani West area and uses a modified Fuzzy AHP
approach to evaluat.. View More»
