  abstract = {{I}n this work, an integrated methodology was developed to investigate hydrological processes in {Z}eramdine-{B}eni {H}assen {M}iocene aquifer and to validate the groundwater proprieties deduced from the geological, geophysical, hydrodynamic and hydrochemical studies done in the region, using the coupling of groundwater flow model {MODFLOW} 2000 code with {G}eographic {I}nformation {S}ystem tools. {A} 3-{D} groundwater flow model was developed for this aquifer using a large amount of available geological and hydrological data. {T}he groundwater flow model was calibrated and validated with datasets during the 1980-2007 period. {T}he results show that the {ZBH} aquifer exhibits the highest sensibility to changes of water infiltration and hydraulic conductivity. {T}he model simulation shows a good degree of understand to the aquifer hydrogeology. {T}he model can be regarded as a useful tool for analyzing the hydrological processes for complex groundwater that have similar geological and hydrogeological conditions and will help to propose a management rescue plan for the studied aquifer, especially for aquifer characterization in arid and semi arid regions.},
