Abstract

The impact of climate change on groundwater resources can be significant in arid regions. This is due to the increase in temperature and the decrease in precipitations in such areas. This work studies the effect of Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) on the groundwater in the Figuig aquifer (392 km²), which is located in the Eastern High Atlas of Morocco. A numerical model was implemented to evaluate the effect of climate change and MAR up to 2099. Two areas with a surface of 1 and 32 km², respectively, are favored for the construction of dams to serve the purpose of MAR. The extreme A1F1 scenario derived from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was chosen for the simulation of the recharge. The simulation results show that the scenarios are feasible, and that MAR can contribute to an efficient recovery of the groundwater in the Figuig aquifer.
