CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS OF REMOTE SENSING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Abstract

Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have emerged as critical tools for groundwater management, offering capabilities for monitoring, analysis, and decision-making. However, despite their potential, several challenges and limitations impede their widespread and effective application. This paper aims to explore these challenges and propose strategies to address them. By analyzing technological, methodological, and contextual barriers, this study contributes to improving the integration of RS and GIS in sustainable groundwater management. The research integrates literature reviews and expert consultations to provide a comprehensive understanding of these tools' limitations and their potential resolutions.
