Impacts of Climate Variability and agriculture on water Resources: Adaptation and Resilience, Case of the Irrigated Perimeter of Tadla, Morocco

NANajat AkhalHMHanifa El Motaki

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess how climate variability and agricultural practices impact water resources in Tadla, Morocco.
  • Assessment of water resources management in the region
  • Analysis of climate change effects on water availability
  • Evaluation of groundwater levels using piezometric measurements
  • Investigation of agricultural impacts on water resources
  • Decreased annual volume of collected water observed
  • Increased rates of evapotranspiration leading to water scarcity
  • Notable declines in groundwater levels, particularly in the Eocene aquifer
  • Rising soil salinity negatively affecting agricultural productivity

Abstract

Morocco's Socio-Ecological System has been highly impacted by the use of water resources. The decrease in annual volume of water collected and the increase caused by an increased rate of rates of Evapotranspiration result in the decrease of the Available Surface Water and Groundwater Repairs as a result of changes in the frequency and amount of precipitation throughout the year, is a process that produces significant Spatial and Temporal Water Disparities; this is known as Water Inequity. The irrigated perimeter of Tadla is facing a major environmental challenge. This issue is closely linked to climate change, which has generated a form of climatic and hydric imbalance. Its effects are visible through the decline in water levels, as indicated by piezometric measurements of groundwater, particularly the Eocene aquifer, which is non-renewable. A possible environmental crisis characterized by water scarcity that jeopardizes both agricultural productivity and the availability of drinking water is also indicated by the region's rising soil salinity.
