The overarching goal of this study was to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS)-driven model specifically tailored to assess landscape suitability for water irrigation systems in NACEST environs, Benue State, Nigeria. The primary objective is to identify areas within NACEST environs, Benue State that are most suitable for water irrigation. This involves a meticulous consideration of various factors, including soil type, topography, land use, climate, water availability, and proximity to water sources. The study employed GIS technology to create suitability maps that visually represent and prioritize areas for irrigation development. The study identified three distinct water irrigation suitability zones within the study area: high, moderate, and low. The high suitability zone encompasses 87.94 hectares, which is 10.83% of the total area. The moderate suitability zone spans 310.70 hectares, representing 38.29%, while the low suitability zone covers 412.69 hectares, accounting for 50.88% of the area. These findings offer a framework for optimizing irrigation strategies, enabling farmers and agricultural planners to improve crop yield and productivity by concentrating efforts on high and moderate suitability areas, thereby utilizing water resources more efficiently.
