The AHP and pairwise comparison have beenused through select four criteria including TWI, TRI, MNDWI, and NDSI, whichwere deemed as impact factors for this study. All these criteria have been weightedaccording to their significance in the water harvesting system. The findings of theAHP analysis method explained that the WH potential zones in Baglia site weredivided into three zones, namely, high, medium, and low suitability. The findingsdemonstrate that Bglia site, where the highly appropriate zone is located in the deepvalley area, is the ideal location for setting up water harvesting operations. The lowsuitability zone, in contrast, is located in a higher terrain when there is a steep slopearea.
