A decision framework for potential dam site selection using GIS, MIF and TOPSIS in Ulhas river basin, India

The Ulhas River Basin, India has been severely impacted by climate change, frequent rainfall, and an ineffective drainage system in recent years, resulting in flooding. To alleviate flood and water scarcity issues, constructing dams in suitable locations is a crucial water management strategy. In th...
