	abstract = {This paper studies aquifer{\textquoteright}s hydrodynamic behavior by combining a flow-simulation model with\&nbsp;transmissivity\&nbsp;optimization (cokriging) in order to provide an optimal management scheme for the groundwater aquifer. The use of a cokriging approach improves the\&nbsp;transmissivity\&nbsp;data which are insufficient for the database of the\&nbsp;groundwater flow\&nbsp;simulation model. The obtained results are then used to model the\&nbsp;groundwater flow\&nbsp;of the Tebessa-Morsott shallow aquifer, located in NE Algeria, under a steady and transient regime. The results of the model calibration for the steady-state (year 2010) show that the recharge by rainfall and\&nbsp;leakage\&nbsp;rate are similar compared to those calculated by the analytical approach, (84,354\&nbsp;m3/day for the recharge and 36,986\&nbsp;m3/day for pumped water flow rate). The results of the transient regime show the alluvial aquifer affected by large drawdowns reaching 40\&nbsp;m over 20 years (year 2030 scenario) due to increase in water exploitation from pumping wells to answer water needs of the Tebessa region.},
