Abstract
The use of underground dams has been human interest since ancient times and was built at any time according to the common scientific techniques of different eras. In this study, AHP decision making system method was used to establish the relationship between effective criteria and make a more accurate decision and save time and money. In this method, four watersheds were selected according to the location of Shahdad catchment area, and the statistics and available information were used from four main criteria and 3 sub-criteria and 17 indices in the process of analytic hierarchy process. Then, according to the relative importance of the mentioned criteria and their analysis in Expert Choice software, the final result was obtained. Generally, in Shahdad catchment, the water criterion has the highest weight and importance in the construction of underground dams in Shahdad catchment area and the axis criterion has the least weight and importance. In general, the results showed that Keshit watershed with a weight of 0.573 had the highest priority among the studied watersheds for underground dam construction. Then, the Pashueeyeh watershed with the weight of 0.202 was the second priority for underground dam construction, then Samoon Jahar watershed with a weight of 0.183 had the third priority and finally the Kahnooj Shah watershed with 0.042 had the lowest priority for underground dam construction.
