As a result of the Russian armed aggression, Ukraine has lost almost a third of its accumulated fresh water reserves worth more than USD18 billion. It has caused a loss of access to quality drinking water for 6 million people in Ukraine and more that 13 million people have a limited access to water for satisfying sanitary and hygienic needs. The situation is complicated due to the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station dam which has led to a large-scale man-made disaster, severe negative environmental and socioeconomic consequences, the beginning of natural-climatic transformations of the drained water reservoir. The article presents comprehensive research of the state of the Kakhovka Reservoir functioning before and after the destruction of the hydroelectric power station dam on the basis of the facts and the results of decoded satellite imagery of Sentinel 2, Sentinel-3 and Landsat 8-9. It was found that the water reservoir drainage has caused disruption of microclimatic conditions, an increase in the air temperature by 2.0 °С and more, accelerated evapotranspiration by 1.41-2.04 times, exacerbation of water scarcity in 58.2% of the territory of the drained water area and in the adjacent territories. About 52.0% of the territory of the drained water reservoir has stressful conditions of natural-climatic functioning. The obtained results confirm that the formed aboveground plant biomass of bottom landscapes is not capable of creating appropriate microclimatic conditions which existed in the water area of the Kakhovka Reservoir.

“…For instance, climate models require accurate identification of spatial disparities in precipitation patterns in order to ascertain future trends. The climate fluctuations and changes has become realistic and are weighing on the economies of many countries (Pichura, Potravka, & Barulina, 2023) (particularly in the MENA regions which are characterized by strong climate fluctuations and scarce rainfall), making precipitation distribution studies particularly critical (Giovanis & Ozdamar, 2022;Waha et al, 2017).…”

Morocco's mountainous regions play a crucial role in shaping its precipitation patterns, influencing everything from water resources to agricultural potential. However, accurately mapping precipitation in such complex terrain is challenging for traditional methods. This study proposes a model that incorporates both topographic and geographic features and prevailing weather patterns to create more accurate maps of average annual precipitation across Morocco. What sets this model apart is its ability to determine the direction of prevailing weather circulation and incorporate geographic and topographic parameters that influence precipitation patterns. Using data from 1965 to 2010, the model estimates an average annual rainfall of 206.4 mm, equivalent to 146.6 billion cubic meters per year, with a terrain aspect deviation to the dominant moisture flux direction set at 280 degrees. This approach is particularly valuable in regions with limited climate data networks, as it leverages existing information to fill in the gaps. By providing more accurate precipitation maps, this model can be a valuable tool for environmental modeling, water resource management, and agricultural planning in Morocco.
