The Bayech basin is located in southwestern Tunisia, a highly prone region to flooding risks. The Bayech basin is characterized by wadis that adopt a wide, sometimes ill-defined bed, often intersected by low-lying areas, resulting in a semi-endoreismo, greatly disrupting the flow regimes. The Bayech basin drains the slopes of the Nementchas and Tebessa mountains in Algeria, collecting water from the Medjen Bel Abbes plain in its middle course before crossing the Gafsa djebls chain at the Gafsa gap. In this basin, flooding is generally caused by high-intensity storms and is often relatively limited in extent. The slope shape and soil type can promote rapid surface runoff during intense rainfall. Therefore, the purpose of creating a web application, labeled ClimInonda, is to respond to a critical need of readily available information on climatic, environmental, and land use data collected in this basin and its morphometric characteristics using recent methods. The application consists of three essential components: the front-end, back-end, and database. The front-end focuses on the user interface, allowing users to interact with the application’s features. It communicates with the back-end through Hypertext Transfer Protocol requests for data processing and retrieval. The back-end handles the server-side operations, processes requests, and provides responses by retrieving data from the database. The database stores and manages the application’s data, ensuring integrity and efficient access. This modular architecture ensures a user-friendly interface, seamless data processing, and reliable data storage. Visualizations can include different types of data, such as satellite imagery, weather data, and terrain data, and can be displayed using various techniques, such as heat maps, contour maps, and 3D models, by providing easy-to-understand visualizations. ClimInonda is an application developed to expand upon existing platforms by providing a suite of exploratory data analysis features, including the ability to calculate the total precipitation depth recorded for any period, interpolate the annual recurrence interval for rainfall events, etc. A simple evaluation of the platform was performed to assess the usefulness and user satisfaction of the tool by professional users, and positive feedback was received. There is clear evidence that ClimInonda would provide the necessary basis for informed decision making by stakeholders and development agencies in arid and semi-arid Tunisia.

Climate data are important in building a hydrological risk assessment model. The ClimInonda web application enables interactive and dynamic visualizations of different data collected from different weather stations in the study area on a single platform, allowing users to explore and analyze data in an easy way. This can assist decision-makers and stakeholders in understanding the current state of the environment and in identifying areas of flooding risk. Visualizations can include different types of data, such as satellite imagery, weather data, and terrain data, and can be displayed using various techniques, such as heat maps, contour maps, and 3D models by providing easy-to-understand visualizations. The different stations of the Gafsa and Kasserine governorates in the study area are included and other stations of the Algerian territory (Tebessa governorate) are incorporated. This web application also provides the capability to include each user's stations.
