Short Summary

This study aimed to create a reliable hydrometric database and a rating curve for the ungauged Oued M'Hasser basin in Morocco through field gauging campaigns, revealing seasonal hydrological dynamics and source responses to rainfall.

Objective

• To conduct field gauging campaigns to produce a reliable hydrometric database and construct a rating curve for estimating flows under various hydrological conditions in the ungauged Oued M'Hasser basin.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Oued M'Hasser basin (a watershed in a semi-arid mountainous region of Morocco).
• Temporal Scale: Seasonal hydrological dynamics (implying observations over multiple seasons to characterize variations).

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not applicable (direct field measurements and empirical curve derivation).
• Data sources: Field gauging campaigns (direct hydrometric measurements).

Main Results

• A reliable hydrometric database was successfully produced for the Oued M'Hasser basin.
• Seasonal hydrological dynamics within the basin were characterized.
• Differential responses of water sources to rainfall fluctuations were identified.

Contributions

• This study provides crucial primary hydrometric data and a rating curve for an ungauged semi-arid mountainous watershed (Oued M'Hasser basin) in Morocco, addressing a significant data gap for water resource management in a climate-vulnerable region.
