The Application of SWAT Model and Remotely Sensed Products to Characterize the Dynamic of Streamflow and Snow in a Mountainous Watershed in the High Atlas.

Snowfall, snowpack, and snowmelt are among the processes with the greatest influence on the water cycle in mountainous watersheds. Hydrological models may be significantly biased if snow estimations are inaccurate. However, the unavailability of in situ snow data with enough spatiotemporal resolution limits the application of spatially distributed models in snow-fed watersheds.

Assessment of clogging of managed aquifer recharge in a semi-arid region.

To overcome water scarcity issues in arid and semi-arid regions, Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) remains a viable and suitable solution to manage and restore aquifers. However, clogging represents a major issue that can affect the durability and efficiency of MAR structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of clogging in MAR sites (Berrechid, Morocco).
