Understanding the data used in a project can be complex. A flowchart can help to illustrate how each dataset is related and weighted based on analytic hierarchy process criteria. This flowchart allows us to identify which datasets are being used to assess spatiotemporal characteristics of groundwater potential suitability mapping, hydrogeological investigation, and prediction based on a coupled model. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a method used to determine and assign weights to the different layers of a thematic map. This process involves breaking down the map into individual investment decisions, which are then evaluated across multiple scenarios. The weights that are assigned to each layer provide an assessment of its relative importance within the thematic map and indicate how decisions should be made in order to optimize the results.
