Short Summary

This study assessed the impacts of recent climatic changes on water resources in the Tassaoute watershed, Morocco, using the HBV model, revealing a noticeable reduction in streamflow and altered seasonal water availability linked to rainfall and temperature variations.

Objective

• To assess the impacts of recent climatic changes on water resources in the Tassaoute watershed, Morocco.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Tassaoute watershed, a tributary of the Oum Er-Rbia basin in central Morocco.
• Temporal Scale: Recent decades (implied by "recent climatic changes" and "over recent decades"). Monthly data used for calibration and validation.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: HBV (Hydrologiska Byrâns Vattenbalansavdelning) conceptual hydrological model.
• Data sources: Monthly meteorological and hydrological data (collected).

Main Results

• A noticeable reduction in streamflow was observed in the Tassaoute watershed.
• Changes in seasonal water availability were identified.
• These hydrological changes are closely linked to variations in rainfall and temperature patterns over recent decades.
• The Tassaoute watershed exhibits growing vulnerability to climatic fluctuations.

Contributions

• Provides a scientific basis for improving water resource management strategies in the Tassaoute region.
• Quantifies the hydrological response of the Tassaoute watershed to observed climate variability using the HBV model.
• Highlights the increasing vulnerability of the Tassaoute watershed's water resources to climatic fluctuations.
