Coastal zones are witnessing excessive abstraction of groundwater due to the exacerbated water demand, and this impacted groundwater depth in the major coastal aquifers. Groundwater Artificial Recharge (GWAR) is often presented as an adaptive solution to protect coastal aquifers. However, sites positioning for GWAR is still a matter of debate, nota...

Forest fires are one of the severe natural hazards that rea frequently occur in the Mediterranean Region, as a result of the increased temperature resulting from global warming. The damage in the forest area has been exacerbated lately, making it necessary to adopt systematic tools based on scientific techniques. This can be performed by producing...
