Supporting evidence — 6 representative gaps

• Integrated Groundwater Quality Assessment for Irrigation in the Ras El-Aioun District: Combining IWQI, GIS, and Machine Learning Approaches (2025) · Water · cited 18× · doi

  Traditional methods for assessing groundwater quality are limited in areas with restricted data and complex hydrogeochemical interactions. There is a need for a comprehensive approach that integrates physicochemical analysis, machine learning, and GIS to evaluate irrigation suitability. The study aims to address this gap by developing and applying an integrated approach.
