that is focusing on the consequences of climate change and human activity on the water bodies of the Drâa River Basin.
The aim is to find solutions for problems like salinization and develop strategies for sustainable water use that benefit the people in the Drâa River Basin and the environment.
The basin is characterized by a dry climate and intermittent rivers rivers that periodically cease to flow and is subject to many hydrological changes due to climate change and different forms of water abstraction and land use.
Climate change, the overuse of water resources and falling groundwater levels contribute to increasing salinization of soils and water bodies in the Drâa River Basin.
This negatively affects the survival of local plant and animal species, reduces agricultural production and threatens human well being.
Hence sustainable adaptation strategies are needed to preserve biological diversity and ensure water availability for human livelihoods.
Further, SaliDRAA جوج aims to guide young scientists towards collaborative research work involving many different disciplines and stakeholders
By combining the perspectives and knowledge of natural and social scientists working in close collaboration with local actors.
