• The hydropower estimates presented here are based on theoretical calculations. A more realistic assessment would require integrating technical, environmental, and economic constraints.
• The analysis was conducted using the median hydrological year. Therefore, evaluating the potential for each individual year would provide insight into the interannual variability of hydropower production.
• Future work should incorporate climate change scenarios to assess long-term impacts on runoff and hydropower availability.
• Publication: Findings related to the Grou sub-watershed have been published recently in the International Journal of Renewable Energy Development, in the article titled: “Optimal hydropower potential assessment in semi-arid regions,” by Imane El Kasimi, Moulay Driss Hasnaoui, Driss Khomsi, Ahmed Bouziane, and Amal Aboulhassane.
