Irrigation land suitability assessment and mapping play an imperative role for sustainable utilization of scarce physical land resources.
Due to constant decrease in farmlands, it is important to identify the best lands useful for sustainable agriculture (productive and profitable agriculture that protects the environment and that is socially equitable).
The present study describes an innovative methodology to rank suitable sites for irrigation with TWW using fuzzy-AHP based on GIS where the Nabeul-Hammamet aquifer catchment (Tunisia) is selected as the target area. The model is relatively simple and is extendable worldwide.

The paper presents the spatial distribution of ecological suitability for grape growing in Bucium vineyard (Romania), viticultural area with ecological characteristics representative for northern vineyards.
There is a growing need to site new power generating plants that use cleaner energy sources due to increased regulations on air and water pollution and a sociopolitical desire to develop more clean energy sources.
Vegetable production has an increasing importance in most of the Asian countries. The leader in production per capita is China followed by South Korea, North Korea and Vietnam. In Vietnam, vegetable production is at the moment on 4th place of all agricultural commodities.
Vegetables are mostly grown in mountainous areas with an altitude >400 m a.s.l., such as Temanggung, Central Java. The steep slope farming considers very little environmental suitability and sustainability. This study was conducted in 2004, covering a total area of 87,223 ha.
