Sustainable management of groundwater resources requires precise quantitative assessment, which can be accomplished through scientific theories. This study used an integrated approach to assess the potential groundwater zones within selected towns in the Minjibir Local Government area of Kano State. The assessment was carried out using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Seven thematic maps on the occurrence and movement of groundwater were generated. These maps included multiple factors such as slope, drainage density, geology, land use/land cover (LULC), precipitation, lineament density, and soil. The standardized weights were determined using a pairwise comparison matrix derived from the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This approach was utilized to produce, a map illustrating the groundwater potential zones within the study area. Therefore, this study can form the basis for further research in determining the percentage yield of groundwater potential zones for optimal groundwater management.
