INTRODUCTIONClimate change is already a reality affecting, in particular, several countries of the Mediterranean Sea. The impact of this change on water resources is very important; indeed, climate observations highlight periods of droughts and floods, which we call extreme events. To reduce the effect of these two phenomena on the quantitative degradation or lack of water resources due to changes in rainfall, artificial recharge techniques are a solution to adapting to this situation. The excess water generated by floods on watersheds could be retained in basins to be injected into the aquifer reservoir after the identification of suitable sites for groundwater recharge.The development of numerical tools can enhance the studies and the conceptions of aquifer artificial recharge operations. Indeed, these tools, particularly numerical models, by way of numerical simulations, can give the behaviour of response of the aquifer (water table) to the induced infiltration. In addition, the use of these numerical tools is an opportunity for synthesis of all data of the aquifer in order to establish a conceptual model first.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
