MEDAQCLIM PROJECT References
During the MEDAQCLIM project’s life cycle, six scientific publications related to the project methodology and outputs were produced. Five of them are papers or abstracts with oral presentations at international conferences held in 2019-2021, and one is a publication in a well-known scientific journal.

Ecole Mohammadia d'Ingenieurs, EMI - Rabat, Regional Water Centre of Maghreb, Morocco
EMI is the oldest School of engineers, established in 1957 in Morocco, and has given more importance to water resources from the beginning of its creation. Two departments are specialized in water resources, in addition to 6 Laboratories and teams. The Regional Water Centre of Maghreb and the Laboratory ‘Water Resources and Information Technologies’ are more experienced with high hydrological education for engineering and research in M.Sc. and PhD. Both Centre and Laboratory are coordinated by Prof. A. Larabi. The Lab also has more than 20 years of ... Read More
Project short description
The Mediterranean region is specifically sensitive to climate change extremes. These coastal sites share common water management problems due to their overexploitation, fresh water pollution, sea level rise, seawater intrusion and land losses. Increased complexity of policy making in these sites presents an ongoing challenge to managers.
The objective of this project is to identify the impacts of climate change on water resources in coastal zones, and how they imply, in turn, socio-economic vulnerability and sustainable development. An integrated quantitative assessment can achieve this goal by combining projections from climate change scenarios with advanced computational hydrological impact assessment models ... Read More
