This situation with the more frequent presence of high flow rates events highlights the importance of water flow regulation through a holistic perception of the hydrological cycle, including reforestation of degraded lands, application of socioeconomical strategies to avoid agricultural abandonment and the presence of water reservoirs and dams to laminated the maximum flow rates (Boix-Fayos et al, 2020;Gao et al, 2020).…”

Land-use changes in Mediterranean arid karstic areas were assessed.• Hydrological responses to changes in rainfall patterns were assessed using wavelet analysis. • Surface available water would decrease during higher occurrences of peak flow events. • It was shown that the new ANSE index improved the goodness-of-fit measurement for these areas. • Also, we demonstrated that the HEC-HMS model is suitable to assess water issues of karstic areas.

“…crops in the provinces of Almeria, Granada, and Murcia are traditionally cultivated in extensive systems with low production and input levels [1]. However, some studies have shown that certain practices used in this type of production model, such as intensive ploughing, can decrease soil quality, leading to the loss of ecological system functions [2,3]. Currently, intensive tilling is performed on conventional rain-fed almond cultivation with low-input systems (3-5 annual passes) at a depth of up to 15-20 cm.…”

“…Drought can worsen, resulting in a so-called socioeconomic drought. Its prevalence is linked to natural water reserves, and reservoirs constructed by human when storage cannot meet the demand for water (Guo et al, 2019;Boix-Fayos et al, 2020;Eekhout et al, 2020). As a result, if appropriate safeguards are not taken, it will severely impact PAPER ACCEPTED.…”

Ain Sefra is part of the Ksour Mountains and it's situated in southwestern Algeria, where the climate is arid. The study area is progressively facing regression and degradation exacerbated by climate change. These trends point to a significant acceleration of desertification and drought and the loss of production systems that play a critical social, ecological, and economic role in the region. To better understand the natural hazard of dryness in Ain Sefra and the impact of climate change, we used various drought indices and remote sensing data. Hence, analyzing precipitation records from 1965 to 2021, through several drought indices, droughts were identified as a recurring phenomenon. Moreover, the frequency of successive dry years is relatively high. There were three most extended continuous dry periods. The first phase lasted seven years from 1980 to 1987, the second twelve years from 1994 to 2006, and the third nine years from 2012 to 2021. Calculation of the Modified Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI) for five multidate satellite images allowed us to follow the evolution of land use elements in this region from 1977 to 2017. Indeed, the study of these multi-temporal images reveals a considerable growth of sands, moving towards the north and northeast of the zone during the last decades. The combination of drought indices and remote sensing seems to be most promising; whose results are valuable tools for guidance and decision support to local and regional authorities.
