The use of a cokriging approach improves the&amp;nbsp;transmissivity&amp;nbsp;data which are insufficient for the database of the&amp;nbsp;groundwater flow&amp;nbsp;simulation model. The obtained results are then used to model the&amp;nbsp;groundwater flow&amp;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&amp;nbsp;leakage&amp;nbsp;rate are similar compared to those calculated by the analytical approach, (84,354&amp;nbsp;m3/day for the recharge and 36,986&amp;nbsp;m3/day for pumped water flow rate). The results of the transient regime show the alluvial aquifer affected by large drawdowns reaching 40&amp;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.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
