This study aims to provide a brief overview of four regional climate model (RCM) estimations for (Daily, Monthly, Seasonal, and Annual) averaged precipitation over the Wadi Chemora Basin in northeastern Algeria for the historical period (1970–2005) and future forecasts (2006–2100). Data from seven ground stations were compared to data from four RCMs: RCA4 driven by ICHEC-EC-EARTH and NOAA-GFDL-GFDL-ESM2M from MENA-CORDEX domain with intermediate resolution (25 km, 0.22°) and ALADIN and RegCM4 from MED-CORDEX domain with high resolution (12 km, 0.11°). In most time steps (Annual, Seasonal, Monthly, and Daily), the raw RCMs overestimated precipitation, but their performance improved significantly after applying gamma quantile mapping (GQM) bias correction method. The bias-corrected projections indicate decreases of seasonal rainfall for the near future (2010–2039), mid-century (2040–2069), and end of century (2070–2100) periods. Overall decreases in all seasons lead to the projected decrease in annual rainfall of an average of 66% by the end of the 21st century.
