This research investigates how climate change impacts major springs in Jericho, Palestine, focusing on their sustainability.
Analyzed long-term climatic parameters including precipitation, temperature, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, and sunshine duration.
Evaluated the effects of these parameters on spring discharge over records dating from 1969 to 2021.
Recorded a significant decline in rainfall over decades, particularly in traditionally wet months.
Observed rising temperatures leading to increased evaporation and prolonged drought conditions.
Identified a trend of growing climatic instability affecting groundwater recharge and spring discharge.
