sensing, a high-end model with a finer resolution for groundwater
recharge has been developed for the region of South-East Asia. The
groundwater recharge coefficient can be found by the application of
Random Forest regression followed by the implication of the water budget
method to calculate the Groundwater Recharge values. Climatic factors
such as precipitation and actual evapotranspiration to map Groundwater
Recharge has been framed with a sophisticated machine learning method to
be considered as a scale predicting model. A comprehensive visualization
of the dataset has been done; the accuracy of the model is noted through
random forest regression. Thus, the model can be used for various
regions of the dataset specifically for the area where there is a lack
of reach for data. It can be successfully used to form a sophisticated
end-to-end ML model. Keywords: Machine Learning, Remote Sensing,
Groundwater Recharge, Climate science.
