Water resources in the Sebou Watershed: hydrodynamic, state and perspective

Abstract

The Sebou Watershed, contains an area of 40000 km2, it represents a third of the surface flows of Morocco it is characterized by a varied topography from North to South, their extent and their lithology. This variation has a strong effect on the distribution of precipitation and the flow regimes of rivers. The current study is an attempt to delineate the hydrodynamic of the different aquifers and watercourses of this Watershed. In the Rif in the north of the basin, the slopes are steep, with significant hydrographic networks, characterized by a torrential water volume, on the other hand in the south by water tables which allows the retention of a very large quantity of water of precipitation and runoff.
