Short summary
A 6400 m3 on-farm storage basin was built along a wadi in pre-Saharan Morocco to store floodwater for date palm irrigation. Its effect on the water table is confirmed by monitoring surface and groundwater levels and modeling the spatiotemporal variability of the recorded flood-induced piezometric mound. We show that beneficial replenishment of the water table is localized (radius < 360 m) and decreases over time due to the basin siltation reducing its storage capacity and permeability.
