        continue to negatively impact water resources. Characterizing
        the hydrologic sensitivity to climatic and anthropogenic changes
        is problematic given the lack of monitoring networks and global-
        scale model uncertainties. This study presents an integrated
        methodology combining satellite remote sensing (e.g., GRACE,
        TRMM), hydrologic modeling (e.g., SWAT), and climate projections
        (IPCC AR5), to evaluate the impact of climatic and man-made
        changes on groundwater and surface water resources. The approach
        was carried out on two scales: regional (Morocco) and watershed
        (Souss Basin, Morocco) to capture the recent climatic changes in
        precipitation and total water storage, examine current and
        projected impacts on total water resources (surface and
        groundwater), and investigate the link between climate change
        and groundwater resources. Simulated (1979-2014) potential
        renewable groundwater resources obtained from SWAT are
        \raisebox{-0.5ex}\textasciitilde4.3 {\texttimes} {}10$^{8}$
        m$^{3}$/yr. GRACE data (2002-2016) indicates a decline in total
        water storage anomaly of
        \raisebox{-0.5ex}\textasciitilde0.019m/yr., while precipitation
        remains relatively constant through the same time period
        (2002-2016), suggesting human interactions as the major
        underlying cause of depleting groundwater reserves. Results
        highlight the need for further conservation of diminishing
        groundwater resources and a more complete understanding of the
        links and impacts of climate change on groundwater resources.}",
