The application of GIS based multi-criteria analysis for selecting an optimum water reservoir site

Malaysia is well endowed with abundance of natural water resources, which has significantly contributed to the socio-economic development of the country. However, the situation has somewhat changed over the last decade. The water demand was 174.22 M/l/d in year 2010 and it is projected to be 270.77...

The application of GIS based multi-criteria analysis for selecting an optimum water reservoir site
description Malaysia is well endowed with abundance of natural water resources, which has significantly contributed to the socio-economic development of the country. However, the situation has somewhat changed over the last decade. The water demand was 174.22 M/l/d in year 2010 and it is projected to be 270.77 M/l/d in 2050. In such scenario, a reliable and safe supply of water for future generations, more and more reservoirs will be required. The aim of this study is to apply GIS in identifying the most suitable location for water reservoir for area of Batu Pahat, Johor, West Malaysia.
