• Hydrological modelling in a data-scarce semi-arid catchment: Assessing urbanisation impacts on runoff in Bouskoura, Morocco (2026) · Journal of Water and Land Development · doi

  Further research is needed to calibrate and validate hydrological models using observed streamflow data. The study's findings can be used to inform urban planning and development strategies in semi-arid regions. Future research should consider the complexities of land-use evolution and the impact of climate variability on hydrological processes.
