Water, Drought and WaterTech
Water-stress mapping, water-resource monitoring, and early-warning systems for river basin agencies and municipalities.
The Pôle Digital's Drought Observatory and WaterTech & Changements Climatiques programme have elevated water data to a national strategic priority. With less than 140 mm of annual rainfall in Morocco's semi-arid regions and a structural water deficit, our mapping and alerting systems help anticipate crises — not just record them.

Our approach
Step 01
Multi-source data acquisition
Fusion of satellite, meteorological, hydrometric, and field data to build an accurate water resource baseline at the watershed scale.
Step 02
Mapping and modelling
Water-stress atlases, flood-zone delineation, hydrological modelling (SWAT, HEC-RAS), and water-soil balance computation.
Step 03
Alert and dashboard
Real-time dashboards for river basin agencies, automated drought and flood alerts, and a WebGIS portal for water resource monitoring.
