Economic valuation of groundwater over-exploitation in the Maghreb by Zaatra, A., Kleftodimos, G., Requier-Desjardins, M., Belhouchette, H.

“…A set of indicators (land use, farm gross margin, the dual value of water and labor requirements) was calculated for each case study in two scenarios (a business-as-usual (S_BAU) scenario and a return-to-equilibrium (S_RtE) scenario) over a period of 15 years, from 2021 to 2035. Our results show that (i) the state of the aquifer and its over-exploitation level determine the extent of future changes; (ii) in the case of significant groundwater over-exploitation, restoration costs are higher than over-exploitation costs (Saïss plain); on the other hand, in the case where the over-exploitation rate is lower (El Haouaria and Sétif plains), the over-exploitation and restoration costs are close; (iii) both scenarios show significant structural and social changes, and without the effective implementation of environmental and social policies, they lead to high economic losses.…”
