start with the selection of a number of available site subjected to a set
of preferences and rating. Upon maximum rating scores, the best site
is chosen. Intensive in situ field study followed the selection stage, include
performing detailed tests such as soil sieve analyses, permeability
tests, field density, and Mackintosh tests. In addition, lineament
analysis was performed as well. The investigation could prove
