AB  - In the present study, the groundwater spring potential zone (GSPZ) was identified 
      using an integrated approach of remote sensing (RS) and geographic information 
      system (GIS), analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and fuzzy-AHP based on 
      multicriteria decision-making (MCDM). Thus, ten associated factors with 
      groundwater springs have been considered: slope, drainage density, lineament 
      density, geomorphology, lithology, soil texture, land use and land cover, 
      rainfall, groundwater level, and spring discharge. The analysis output was 
      categorized into low, moderate, and high. The result of the AHP model shows the 
      area under the high potential zone (16.61%), the moderate potential zone 
      (60.42%), and the low potential zone (22.61%). The result of the fuzzy-AHP model 
      shows that the area falls under the high potential zone (30.40%), moderate 
      potential zone (41.29%), and low potential zone (22.61%). The validation results 
      showed fuzzy-AHP with the area under the curve 0.806, which is slightly better 
      than 0.779 of AHP. So, the resulting GSPZ map confirms that the thematic layers 
      used in the study have a significant role in groundwater spring occurrence and 
      distribution. It was recommended that any groundwater spring rejuvenation or 
      protection activities must be implemented in medium to very high potential zones.
