  abstract = {{L}ong-term and high quality observed climate data are required to analyse with reduced uncertainty temporal and spatial climate variability. {T}he aim of this work is the quality control, the reconstruction and homogenization of monthly precipitation observed in semi-arid basins within {S}ouss-{M}assa region in {N}orth {A}frica during the period 1933-2010. {D}ata recorded in local meteorological stations underwent a neighbour-based homogenization algorithm. {W}e apply {M}ann-{K}endall test and {S}en's method to raw and homogenized time series to calculate trends and their magnitude. {T}he greatest variation in data properties is highlighted for the trend analysis where the homogenization process allows the detection of a higher number of the statistically significant negative trend with 95 and 99% confidence levels.},
