“…In parallel, there is a decrease in water quality due to salinization and anthropogenic pollution from fertilizers (Moreno‐Dodson et al., 2022). In addition to water stress, the region of Souss‐Massa is also exposed to increasingly intense floods, exacerbated by the rapid demographic evolution, changes in land cover and various other anthropogenic and physical factors (Bouaakkaz et al., 2020).…”

Environmental degradation constitutes a disruptive force in man‐made and natural systems. The projected duplication of the frequency and duration of meteorological drought will contribute to a situation of water scarcity, which is expected to negatively impact the agricultural sector. This study focuses on Souss‐Massa, Morocco, a leading agricultural region, and it seeks to map how human mobility fits within a wider adaptation response to environmental degradation. Over 30 semi‐structured interviews were conducted with internal migrants and members of rural communities on the perceived impacts of environmental degradation and human mobility. Most of the interviewees perceive a reduction in the available water, and the agricultural sector is the most severely affected by those changes. Internal migration is the most frequent adaptation strategy mentioned, and the remittances it originates are supporting the communities of origin facing a deterioration of agricultural output.
