Abstract: The efficient management and the sustainability of groundwater resources in mining areas require the accurate identification of groundwater resources. Identification and prediction of water resources in mining areas should be done in the design and planning stage of mining so that mining operations are carried out in a dry environment and the groundwater resources face the least damage. Hence, this study aims to identify groundwater resources in the western anomalies of Sangan iron mine using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), fuzzy overlay, Dempster-Shafer and Coupled-Groundwater Potential Mapping method (C-GPM) techniques in GIS software. The geology, surface hydraulic conductivity, drainage density, slope, aspect, topography, lineament density, vegetation and alteration layers play an important role to delineate and assess groundwater potential map in the study area. After classifying the maps and weighting of each layer based on the quantitative assessment scores by hydrologists, hydrogeologists, geologists, environmental and mining experts, the potential map of groundwater resources in the study area was prepared by each of the above techniques. Finally, in order to validate the results, the groundwater potential map obtained from each of the above four methods was compared to the water level map of the study area. By examining the values of statistical parameters to evaluate the error related to the four techniques, it was determined that the groundwater potential map obtained by the C-GPM method showed less error, so it can be concluded that C-GPM method can be used as a fast and reliable approach to model groundwater potential for the proper management of groundwater resources, and the implemented method can be used in other similar conditions.
