Fig. 7 — Validation of the ANN-derived GWPZs. (a) AUC–ROC curve showing model discrimination performance, (b) Spatial validation using well locations overlaid on the GWPZs map in ArcGIS 10.8 (https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-desktop/overview) with groundwater depth information obtained from field surveys and the CGWB Groundwater Data Portal (https://gwdata.cgwb.gov.in/). The wells show strong correspondence with the predicted groundwater potential classes, confirming the robustness of the ANN model.
