Combining GIS and Analytic hierarchy process for evaluating land suitability for irrigation: A case study from Serbia

Serbia is amongst the European countries with the lowest percent of irrigated land. New state strategies for agricultural development assume significant increase of the irrigated land. To begin the process, it would be very useful for the decision makers and planers to know where the most suitable land for irrigation is located and to have that information visualized. Use of GIS tools in this regard is inevitable.
