Arid region water reservoirs have different characteristics and solutions from humid regions with the most water shortage in the world socio-economically. This paper outlines possible implementation methodologies, procedures and guidance for water storage in natural and artificial reservoirs for better operation and management rules taking into account the impacts of climate change. The literature is full of methodological applications regarding the impact of climate change on the hydro-meteorological records, but the same is not available in reservoirs (surface and underground), which is the scope of this paper. In addition, reservoir structures offer the necessary mitigation and adaptation activities against the effects of climate change to design, construct, maintain, operate or increase their existing capacity. To increase groundwater reservoir capacity in local aquifers, precipitation, associated flooding and flash flooding should be diverted to artificial groundwater recharges through precipitation and surface runoff harvesting activities. Definitions of fully or partially penetrating underground dams are also explained. The real groundwater feeding application is offered from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as arid region representative. Finally, a series of recommendations are presented for the future design and management of reservoirs.

干旱地区水库与世界上社会经济缺水最严重的潮湿地区有着不同的特点和解决方案。本文概述了天然和人工水库蓄水的可能实施方法、程序和指南，以便更好地运行和管理规则，同时考虑到气候变化的影响。文献中充满了关于气候变化对水文气象记录影响的方法论应用，但在水库（地表和地下）中却没有，这是本文的范围。此外，水库结构提供必要的缓解和适应活动以应对气候变化的影响，以设计、建造、维护、运营或增加其现有容量。为了增加当地含水层的地下水库容量，应通过降水和地表径流收集活动将降水、相关洪水和山洪暴发转移到人工地下水补给中。还解释了完全或部分穿透地下大坝的定义。沙特阿拉伯王国作为干旱地区代表提供了真正的地下水补给应用。最后，对水库未来的设计和管理提出了一系列建议。沙特阿拉伯王国作为干旱地区代表提供了真正的地下水补给应用。最后，对水库未来的设计和管理提出了一系列建议。沙特阿拉伯王国作为干旱地区代表提供了真正的地下水补给应用。最后，对水库未来的设计和管理提出了一系列建议。
