The five panchabhuta elements (P1–P5) are the main sources of water, energy, food productivity, and climate variability, where shakti, or energy, is represented by solar, wind, or hydropower potential, which primarily depend on the sun, air, and water, respectively. The REPI is computed using S1–S3 via the equally weighted overlay method. Another nine secondary parameters (S4–S12) are used in the AHP-MCDM technique to generate the WFPPI, which is further overlayed with the REPI to generate the WEFPPI.
