Groundwater extraction in most Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries far exceeds its renewability, which ranges from 6% to 100%. Freshwater resources support food production are very limited this region. Future climate predictions include more consistent longer wet periods with increasing surplus rainfall, will enhance flood flash occurrences the MENA. Demand management of groundwater managed aquifer recharge (MAR, also called replenishment, water banking, artificial recharge, is purposeful aquifers for subsequent recovery or environmental benefits) represent essential strategies overcome challenges associated depletion change impacts. Such would enable development MENA region by minimizing stress placed on these resources, as well reducing deterioration quality. augmentation through dams a common practice different around globe. Most were built even few protection act one way another. However, operating systems mostly dependent natural infiltration accumulated reservoir area, application MAR.

Accurate data collection and time series creation are crucial for understanding these changes. However, many areas lack reliable due to geopolitical issues government permissions. Urgent action is needed sustainable water management. This study uses Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE) analyze monthly fluctuations in groundwater storage the Missan region of Iraq from January 2022 December 2023, using Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) mascon, Jet Propulsion Laboratory Downscaled (JPL_D), Catchment Land Surface Model (CLSM). revealed variability GWS over area RS integration with available monitoring wells. To investigate variability, GSFC, JPL_D, CLSM observed a downward trend 2022; GSFC exhibits highest negative trend, while has lowest trend. Then, June had positive Most period remote sensing that matches well situ, which wells 1, 2, 4 trends period. In conclusion, results improve role small-scale unconfined aquifers, supports decision-making resource The findings illustrated match between derived GRACE data.

Groundwater drought and anthropogenic amplifiers: A review of assessment and response strategies in arid and semi-arid areas

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 978, С. 179406 - 179406

Опубликована: Апрель 17, 2025

Groundwater drought, a prolonged period of abnormally low groundwater levels, poses significant threat to the environment, society, and economy. Drought impacts are particularly severe in (semi) arid regions, home over two billion people, where precipitation is scarce unevenly distributed. Despite extensive research on droughts, drought assessment related responses remains underexplored, especially addressing quality. This review addresses this gap by systematically investigating semi-arid regions. The process involved formulating search query, identifying relevant articles, filtering them based selection criteria. As result, 146 studies retrieved from SCOPUS database were fully reviewed. results then analyzed using Drivers, Pressures, State, Impact, Response (DPSIR) framework. explores natural human drivers their interactions, focusing environmental, societal, economic impacts. Assessment often prioritize water quantity quality typically indicate declining trend with heavy reliance field data rather than remote sensing. <40 % use advanced techniques like physical models or artificial intelligence. Responses include management, policy, community strategies, technological nature-based solutions. mainly focus frameworks. Challenges faced stakeholder engagement, public perception, reliable scarcity, high costs. Further needed model connections between impacts, understand dynamics, develop adaptive strategies. promotes intelligence sensing for studying while encouraging international cooperation.
