The upstream part of the Essaouira basin, a data-scare region in Morocco, Northwestern Africa. scarcity hydro-climate data is significant challenge found several regions worldwide, where qualitative and quantitative water resource information remains limited. Estimating predicting groundwater levels (GWL) such areas producing knowledge for effective management. To address this issue, present study aimed to use Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model conjunction with downscaled total storage...
The downstream part of the Essaouira basin, Morocco, Northwestern Africa. This study combines multivariate statistical analyses, stable isotopes, hydrogeochemical, hydrogeological, geological and remotely sensed data to gain a better understanding hydrological groundwater salinization processes in coastal aquifer. Hydrogeochemical from 223 samples as well isotope collected during 10 sampling campaigns between 1990 2020 were compiled subjected comprehensive analysis. Groundwater recharge...
Water stress is one of the factors controlling agricultural land salinization and also a major problem worldwide. According to FAO most recent estimates, it already affects more than 400 million hectares. The Tafilalet plain in Southeastern Morocco suffers from soil salinization. In this regard, GIS tools remote sensing were used processing 19 satellite images acquired Landsat 4–5, (Landsat 7), 8), (Sentinel 2) sensors. indices literature (16 indices) tested correlated with results obtained...
The Atlas Mountains of Morocco, specifically the High Oum Er-rbiaa (HOER) and Ourika catchments. to identify recharge processes within semi-arid watersheds, in Mountains, through monthly monitoring snow, rainfall, surface water, groundwater isotope signal, but also usage remote sensing data. spatial-temporal analysis precipitation isotopes reveals significant spatial heterogeneity, primarily influenced by geological variations each aquifer. Temporal indicate that direct occurs response...
The understanding of hydro systems is great importance in monitoring quantitative and qualitative changes water resources. Essaouira region at the edge Moroccan Atlantic Ocean subject to a semi-arid climate. decrease rainfall as result climate change increase exploitation surface groundwater have disrupted stability these resources threaten socio-economic environmental balance area under investigation. Climate scenarios estimate that precipitation will by 10–20% while warming increases 3 °C...
This study evaluates the use of remote sensing data to improve understanding groundwater resources in climate-sensitive regions with limited availability and increasing agricultural water demands. The research focuses on estimating reserve dynamics two major river basins Morocco, characterized by significant local variability. employs from Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment satellite (GRACE) ERA5-Land reanalysis. Two GRACE terrestrial storage (TWS) products, CSR Mascon JPL (RL06), were...
Drought assessment and management, intensified by global warming, present critical challenges in semi-arid Mediterranean regions, impacting environmental sustainability economic stability. This study evaluates spatiotemporal drought risk the Bouregreg watershed northwest Morocco integrating remote sensing data with various indices. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Evapotranspiration (SPEI), Temperature (STI) were utilized to assess meteorological over a 12-month period. Conditions...
In recent decades, the Bouregreg Chaouia region has been subject to urban growth and a reduction in agricultural land this region, which changed its environmental variables made it vulnerable climate change. This work raises spatiotemporal monitoring of use certain parameters (vegetation cover, albedo, surface temperature from 1987 2015 by exploring intelligent spatial data region. The remote sensing products were computed Landsat 5 TM, 7 ETM+ 8 Oli/TIRS images obtained during dry seasons...
Morocco ranks among countries with the greatest achievements in field of dams Africa but is affected by sedimentation phenomenon due to soil erosion upstreams. The assessment Sediment Yield (SY) and Suspended (SSY) remains a challenging global issue, especially Morocco, characterized great diversity morphological, climatic, vegetation cover. main objective this paper was perform advanced statistics artificial neural networks (ANN) order understand spatial distribution sediment yield factors...
