“…The evolution of the surface area occupied by surface water resources is mapped [9] for the years 1992, 2002, 2012 and 2021, a scale of 10 years almost to follow the spatio-temporal variations of surface water (Fig. 3), this chronology shows an increase in the surface area of water between time, but also a dimintion.…”

Given the importance of natural resources for integrated development, it is necessary to adopt adaptation strategies to face disturbances affecting the globe. Particularly, climate change, with a particular impact on water potential. The aim of this article is to highlight the impact of this world phenomenon on surface water resources in the Ykem watershed situated in the northwest of the central Moroccan plateau, which is characterized by predominantly arid conditions. In order to monitor the spatiotemporal evolution of surface water, a methodology based on geospatialization techniques was used. This involved mapping the evolution of surface water resources in time and space, providing a variation between reference years, specifically 2012–2021, from 132 ha to 32 ha, and of course interpreting the results by climate elements based on rainfall in the study area and temperature readings in this geographic location. Remote sensing was employed to acquire satellite images available between 1992 and 2021. The area covered by water rose from 10 ha to 126 ha between 1992 and 2012, but the amount of land covered by water shrank to 32 ha between 2012 and 2021.

“…Therefore, its climate is semi-arid, and its bioclimatic stage type of climate occupies 25% of the surface of Morocco. (Elyagoubi and Mezrhab, 2022). The De Martone's Aridity Index is (equation 2): I = 12.36 (with P=364.2 mm, and T=19.47 °C) Drought intensity.…”

If the scarcity of water resources and their limitation is a characteristic of the climate of Morocco, this phenomenon seems to know a distinct accentuation during the last decades. But, on the other hand, the scarcity of this resource and the drought are the main constraints of agricultural production; the situation then is more alarming. Although scientists in the region have developed many technologies to cope with these environmental problems, the difference between the yields achievable by farmers and the potential yields generally remains huge in rainfed and irrigated areas.This paper develops the problem of rainfed agriculture in the Khemisset region, El Ganzra site, in the constraining context of climate change and natural resources degradation. Indeed, several measures are necessary to cope with these climate changes; therefore, we propose a method of agro-climatic analysis of the first significant rains. Our investigations, which are part of the decision support approach, are based on choosing the suitable period for sowing cereals using the "InStat" tool. The method used is based on a quantitative approach, allowing us to study the Spatio-temporal variability of precipitation and the analysis of drought intensity on the site. Consequently, the modelling makes it possible to propose scenarios to farmers regarding sowing dates and crop selection at the appropriate time.

“…By the 1980s, the breadth and depth of soil wind erosion research had expanded, which led to the development of advanced wind erosion prediction systems (WEPS) and revised wind erosion equation (RWEQ) models [6,[21][22][23]. The use of radioisotope tracer 137 Cs measurement of wind erosion rate [24] and the "3S" technology injected more energy into wind erosion research and boosted the development of wind erosion evaluation models with the help of GIS [25,26].…”

Influences of Wind Erosion on EnvironmentSoil as a vital resource provides numerous goods and services to humanity [1]. Globally, nearly 549 million hm 2 of land, primarily in arid regions, exhibit accelerated wind erosion [2], accounting for the approximate 30% of the land surface on the earth [3]. Wind erosion represents a common form of soil degradation [4], and is one of the most pressing environmental challenges in arid and semi-arid areas [5,6]. Wind erosion has resulted in the reduction of land productivity, which poses a considerable challenge to the sustainable development of agriculture. Additionally, wind erosion can impair carbon transport, resulting in a transformation of the global biogeochemical cycle
