Identification of potential hydropower generation sites using geospatial techniques in the Megecha watershed of Ethiopia

The research focuses on modelling the surface water potential using Arc SWAT and Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) for selecting the potential hydropower sites in the Megecha watershed. The tenure for stream flow and meteorological data used for SWAT model simulation is from 1990 to 2019 and 198...
