In Australia, water resource management is a major socio-economic and environmental issue and an essential component of progress. This is more acute in arid and semi-arid regions of Australia. The Southern Flinders Ranges townships of Quorn and Hawker in common with much of the Flinders Ranges suffers from a lack of reliable data to help water resource managers. This paper discusses the delineation and assessment of groundwater potential zones using remote sensing and geospatial techniques in the region, using multi-criteria analyses. The study integrates many thematic layers (rainfall, lithology, lineament density, topographic wetness, slope and aspect) in a GIS environment in order to identify groundwater potential zones. Weights are assigned to class attributes within and between each thematic data layer using an Analytical Hierarchy Process based on the relative importance of each layer. The weighted thematic data layers are then combined to produce a probability of groundwater potential zone map of each study area. The groundwater potential zones were verified with available water data, and showed consistency with the interpretations.

在南澳大利亚南弗林德斯山脉，在裂隙岩石中使用遥感和地理信息系统绘制地下水潜在区域

在澳大利亚，水资源管理是一个重大的社会经济和环境问题，也是进步的重要组成部分。在澳大利亚的干旱和半干旱地区这种情况更为严重。南部的弗林德斯山脉与其他弗林德斯山脉一样，都位于昆恩和霍克地区，他们缺乏可靠的数据来帮助水资源管理者。本文通过多标准分析，讨论了使用遥感和地理空间技术对该区域的地下水潜在区域进行划定和评估。这项研究在GIS环境中集成了许多主题层（降雨，岩性，线粒密度，地形湿度，坡度和坡向），以识别地下水的潜在区域。根据每个图层的相对重要性，使用“层次分析法”将权重分配给每个专题数据层之内和之间的类属性。然后将加权的主题数据层合并，以生成每个研究区域的地下水潜在地带图的概率。地下水潜在区已通过可用的水数据进行了验证，并且与解释结果一致。
