Description

As the effects of climate change intensify, floods have become a major threat to coastal and urban areas, particularly in southern Morocco. This study focuses on the Agadir region to analyze the impacts of recent flood events in connection with climatic disturbances, as well as the institutional and territorial responses currently in place. The methodological approach is based on hydrological modeling, enabling the simulation of various climate scenarios and the assessment of vulnerability levels in at-risk zones. The aim is to identify effective strategies for flood prevention and integrated risk management, taking into account local dynamics, urban development, and adaptive capacities. The expected outcomes seek to contribute to strengthening territorial resilience and improving the anticipation of extreme hydrometeorological events at the regional level.
