Short summary
Many communities in the Sahel rely solely on groundwater. We develop a machine learning technique to map areas of groundwater potential. Algorithms are trained to detect areas where there is a confluence of factors that facilitate groundwater occurrence. Our contribution focuses on using variable scaling to minimize expert bias and on testing our results beyond standard metrics. This approach is illustrated through its application to two administrative regions of Mali.
