The weighted overlay method was adopted in GIS to delineate the potential area into four major categories as highly suitable, suitable, moderately suitable, and unsuitable.
This study revealed that of the total study area of 20431.034 ha, 0.377% is highly suitable, 9.873% is suitable, 1.772% is moderately suitable, 85.027% is unsuitable, and 2.951% is already under aqua farms.
The result showed areas which are highly suitable, moderately suitable, marginally suitable, or unsuitable for tourism.
The overall weighted overlay model result showed that 146 km2 areas are highly suitable, 135 kmoderatelyely suitable and 60 km2 area unsuitable for irrigation use.
The final spatial distribution map of weighted overlay model result showed that 146 km2 areas are highly suitable for irrigation use, 135 km2 areas moderately suitable and 60 km2 area unsuitable for irrigation use.
The results revealed that only 22.54% of the study areas were identified as most suitable for the animal under study of which the large portions of the areas are located at the backside of settlements which are not easily accessible by the species, while 40.5% of the areas were found to be moderately suitable, and 36.96% were unsuitable habitats for hippopotamus.
The germination percentage indicates that sandy soil is moderately suitable to cultivation for wheat but unsuitable for rice.
From the model output, among the suitable areas, large portion were located at the backside of settlements which were not easily accessible by the species, while 40.5% were found to be moderately suitable for hippopotamus habitat and 36.96% were unsuitable lands.
Based on the analysis, most of the area at many locations in industrial area falls in moderately polluted to severely polluted, making the water unsuitable for drinking purposes.
It was shown that 50.88% of the areas under study was highly disturbed and became unsuitable to hippopotamus, 42.29% of the areas were moderately disturbed, and only 1.81% of the areas were revealed to be undisturbed.
However, it proved unsuitable for many applications, because devices made of the material exhibited high leakage currents at only moderately elevated temperatures.
