A Summary Analysis of Groundwater Vulnerability to Climate Variability and Anthropic Activities in the Haouz Region, Morocco

The Haouz aquifer is undergoing climatic aridity and anthropic pressure largely related to the agricultural sector. In this study, special attention was given main factors that have a direct impact on fluctuations of piezometric level (PL). Different statistical analyses (cross-correlations, PCA, cascading analysis) relationship between these were applied here. results identify three distinct groundwater operating systems. first manifested in areas dominated by irrigation. correlation insignificant PL surface water (R ≤ ±0.3). natural balance cycle then disturbed causing pronounced deficit PL. second system perceptible irrigation from water, while third noticeable Bour areas, cultivated rainfed mode. For both systems, hydrological preserved, contribution recharge (±0.4 R ±1). Drought transfer components occurs process for These can help decision-makers risks vulnerability variability overexploitation region, allowing promotion efficient management.
