Dams are vital for irrigation, power generation, and domestic water needs, but siltation poses a significant challenge, especially in areas prone to erosion, potentially shortening dam’s lifespan. The Ahmed El Hansali Dam Morocco faces heightened due its upstream region being susceptible erosion-prone rocks high runoff. This study estimates the at dam from construction up 2014 using bathymetric data Brown model, which is widely-used empirical model that calculates reservoir trap efficiency. Additionally, evaluates impact of Land Use Cover (LULC) changes projected future rainfall until around 2076 based on rates. results indicate LULC, particularly temporal variations precipitation, have dam. Notably, strongly correlated with rate, an R2 0.92. efficiency sediment trapping (TE) 97.64%, meaning 97.64% catchment area trapped or deposited bottom estimated annual specific yield about 32,345.79 tons/km2/yr, accumulation rate approximately 4.75 Mm3/yr. half-life be 2076, precipitation projections may extend this timeframe strong correlation between precipitation. soil erosion driven by land management practices plays crucial role dynamics. Hence, offers comprehensive assessment dynamics dam, providing essential information long-term effects use changes, climate projections. These findings assist decision makers managing sedimentation more effectively, ensuring durability extending life.

This study integrates deep learning and geospatial analysis to enhance soil loss estimation in the Moulouya Watershed, a region prone erosion due diverse topography climatic conditions. Traditional models like Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) its revised version (RUSLE) often fall short capturing complex environmental interactions, leading inaccurate predictions. research introduces novel approach using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) combined with Geographic Information Systems (GISs) improve precision spatial resolution of risk assessments. High-resolution satellite imagery, maps, data were processed extract critical factors, such as slope, land cover, rainfall erosivity, which then fed into CNN model. The findings revealed that model outperformed traditional methods, achieving low Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) 2.3 an R-squared value 0.92, significantly surpassing USLE RUSLE models. resulting high-resolution maps identified high-risk areas, particularly central eastern regions watershed, rates exceeding 40 tons/ha/year. These demonstrate superior predictive capabilities learning, offering valuable insights for targeted conservation strategies highlighting potential advanced computational techniques revolutionize modeling.

Consecutive years of droughts and increasing human pressure heighten the vulnerability Oum Er Rbia water to pollution. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation quality in River, employing multifaceted approach encompassing physicochemical parameters, undesirable substances, toxic compounds, bacteriological traits. In this study, 26 3 biological parameters (SF, CF, CT) were analyzed along River at 10 different stations during seasons 2020 2022. The analysis assessed samples against Moroccan drinking standards recommended values set by World Health Organization (WHO) evaluate their conformity. A results revealed notable deviations from stipulated certain stations, indicating potential concerns regarding suitability water. findings significant variation concentrations all traits among years. Analysis second-year data showed highest concentration Thus, analyses induced contamination experimental total coliforms, faecal streptococci. Furthermore, multivariate highlighted three distinctive groups studied terms polluting substances found that most contaminated station was S9, followed S7. These inform environmental monitoring programs resources management basin. assessment guides interventions preserve river's ecological integrity safeguard health dependent communities.

Abstract Groundwater is an essential resource that meets all of humanity’s daily water demands, supports industrial development, influences agricultural output, and maintains ecological equilibrium. The objective behind this research to find groundwater prospective zones their sustainable development in Henan Province, located the North China Plain, with help analytical hierarchical process (AHP) frequency ratio (FR) models. Consequently, a inventory map was created, utilizing 70% data for training 30% testing purposes. resulting maps were overlaid levels locations wells within study area. performance validation models assessed using Area Under Curve (AUC) curve, which indicated accuracy AHP model 69% FR model. indicates areas suitable gradients rainfall patterns generally have high zonation (GWPZ), i.e., Zhumadian Nanyang (ZN). However, demonstrated higher predictive capability comparison broader context. Whereas GIS-RS methodology aligns existing field validate it range good excellent. In conclusion, provides valuable insights effective exploration supply planning Province.
