Subject title and description :
Predictive hydrological modelling of the behavior of a mountainous catchment under climate change and contribution to the recharge of a downstream aquifer: the case of Zat watershed (Marrakech- Morocco)..
Overview of the subject
The Zat watershed, one of the most important in the Marrakech High Atlas, is located in an arid to semi-arid climate. The quantity of water available is low and varies with space and time. In addition to water scarcity and uneven distribution, the region is subject to increasing water demand and flood risks, which can endanger people's lives and infrastructure. In this context, Modeling surface waters is essential to development as it provides valuable insights into water availability, flood risks, and environmental impacts. It helps in making informed decisions regarding water resource management, infrastructure planning, and mitigating the effects of climate change. By accurately predicting and understanding surface water dynamics, modeling supports sustainable development and ensures efficient utilization of water resources for various sectors including agriculture, industry, and human settlements..
Subject objectives:
By modeling the behavior of the Zat watershed surface waters in the context of climate change we aim to achieve several objectives, which can include: 1. Assesing hydrological impacts. 2. Predicting extreme events. 3. Evaluating water supply and demand. 4. Assesing ecosystem impacts. 5. Supporting adaptation and mitigation strategies. 6. Providing policy and planning support to Moroccan authorities involved in water managemnt.
Progress report
Next Steps: Moving forward, we will continue to refine the HEC-RAS models based on the calibration and validation process. Additionally, we will expand the scenario analyses to explore a broader range of potential conditions and their implications. The project team will maintain close collaboration with colleagues from I-Maroc to ensure that the modeling results are effectively integrated into water resource management and decision-making processes.
