Despite major recent advances in socio-hydrology and hydroeconomics research, interdisciplinary methods and models for water policy assessment remain largely concealed to the academic arena. Most river basin authorities still base decision-makin[...]Article
The quantitative monitoring of the shallow aquifer in Marrakesh and its surrounding area shows that the water table has been lowered gradually over the last 40 years, and attaining an acute decline in the early 2000s. This declining trendif con[...]Article

Tendler |Solutions to current complex environmental challenges demand the consultation and involvement of various groups in society. In light of the WFDs requirements of public participation, this paper presents an analysis of the establishment and deve[...]Article
In a global context where agriculture is the major consumer of water, there is a pressing need to look for alternative water resources. In light of there being a lack of studies that compare the use of diverse water alternatives in different cro[...]Article
En agriculture, lutilisation de techniques dirrigation plus efficaces est souvent vue comme un moyen de protéger lenvironnement en créant un impact positif sur la gestion de la ressource en eau. Utiliser des techniques efficaces doit ainsi pe[...]Article
This paper aims to identify drivers and barriers to the achievement of EU water policy objectives in the agricultural sector by adopting an institutional perspective on water quality management at the landscape level. We apply a conceptual frame[...]Article
The Water Footprint (WFP) is an estimate of freshwater utilization in food production and its impacts on water resources by individuals, communities and industries. It is partitioned into green component that denotes rain water use, blue, ground[...]Article
Dans le bassin versant de lOued Daoura, la vie oasienne est fondamentalement basée sur lagriculture. Cependant, avec les conditions climatiques difficiles où leau se fait rare, le recours à lirrigation est une priorité. En plus, les besoins [...]Article
K. Benabderrazik ; B. Kopainsky ; L. Tazi ; J. Joerin ; J. Six |Agricultural-food production systems are facing the challenging task to provide food and socio-economic welfare while preserving natural resources in the long-term. In Morocco, the Green Moroccan Plan steered the promotion of groundwater-based d[...]Article

Au gré de leurs besoins, les villes étendent leurs frontières sur les territoires voisins. Cest le cas pour lalimentation en eau potable, et comme dautres villes, Dijon à partir de 1939 dépend de ressources exogènes. La nappe la Saône devient[...]Article
Lagriculture biologique (AB) est considérée comme une solution pertinente aux problèmes de pollution des ressources en eau. Dans cet article, nous nous appuyons sur le projet mené par la ville de Paris dans la vallée de la Vanne pour analyser c[...]Article
Food system analysis in arid and semi-arid countries inevitably meets water availability as a major constraining food system driver. Many such countries are net food importers using food subsidy systems, as water resources do not allow national [...]Article

Current agri-environmental policies are facing challenges to protect the environment, including in delivering water quality improvements. These difficulties are mainly due to payment restrictions and field or farm scale limitations in existing p[...]Article
L'avenir des sociétés et des environnements en Afrique se joue en partie autour de la gestion de l'eau. La croissance démographique, l'élévation du niveau de vie des populations et l'urbanisation constituent des défis majeurs pour un continent e[...]Article
Wastewater reuse (WW-reuse) is an alternative water resource that may answer present and future water-scarcity issues, supplying diverse categories of water users: agricultural, industrial or even domestic. A literature review of 30 LCAs of WW-r[...]Article
As freshwater overexploitation in agriculture is rising, the application of alternative farming practices, particularly in water-scarce areas, is critical for the sustainability of the sector. Organic agriculture constitutes an opportunity for f[...]Article
Water conflicts in transboundary watersheds are significantly exacerbated by insufficient freshwater sources and high water demands. Due to its increasing population and various development projects, as well as current and potential water shorta[...]Article
The present study concerns the Dradère-Souière water table and consists of characterizing the climatic variability at the level of the aforementioned basin and looking for the links between this hydrological variability and climatic fluctuations[...]Article
Treated wastewater is constantly produced and relatively unaffected by climatic conditions, while Constructed Wetlands (CWs) are recognized as green technology and a cost-effective alternative to improve treated wastewater quality standards. Thi[...]Article
S. Masia ; A. Trabucco ; D. Spano ; R.L. Snyder ; J. Susnik ; S. Marras |The impact of climate change on agriculture is projected to be more severe over the coming years due to changing intensity, magnitude and distribution of precipitation, soil water content, atmospheric water vapor, higher temperatures, and thus l[...]Article
H. Zeggane ; R. Ghernaout ; D. Boutoutaou ; S.S. Abdullah ; B. Remini ; O. Kisi |The problems of water quality and quantity have the potential to affect users of the resource at the watershed scale.
