  abstract = {{C}limate change is undoubtedly becoming a subject of great concern for public authorities in all regions of the globe, in particular, the regions under {S}aharan, arid, and semi-arid climate. {I}n this regard, this study aims to assess the effect of climate change on groundwater from semi-arid environments, taking the {E}ssaouira basin as an example. {T}he climate approach shows a downward trend in precipitation from 12 to 16% and an increase in temperature from 1.2 to 2.3 degrees {C}, and this during the last three decades. {A} continuous decline in the piezometric level exceeding 12 m for the {C}enomanian-{T}uronian aquifer and 17 m for the {P}lio-{Q}uaternary aquifer has been observed. {T}he groundwater mineralization is controlled by the dissolution of evaporate and carbonate minerals, by the bases exchange phenomenon, and by the marine intrusion, especially in {P}lio-{Q}uaternary aquifer. {A}lso, the groundwater quality in the study area deteriorates gradually over time and space. {H}owever, the results of this study confirm that the groundwater from {E}ssaouira basin is vulnerable to the global warming.},
