Abstract
This study assesses the spatial and temporal physico-chemical quality of the surface waters of Moulouya River based on the global pollution index PI. Several physico-chemical parameters (T°C, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved Oxygen (DO), BOD5, PO4 3−, NH4 +, SO4 2− and NO3 −) were monitored on 66 samples collected in 2014 during three campaigns at 22 stations from the upper reaches in the Upper Moulouya to its mouth in the Mediterranean. The results show that 86.4% of the stations show no pollution and are mainly located upstream of Moulouya river during the three campaigns of 2014 (March–April, May–June and July–August). However, the Zaida (M6), Missour (M12) and Gercif (M16) stations have polluted waters related to the very high levels of ammonium, nitrates, sulphates, phosphates and DBO5, which exceed Moroccan standards and would be related to the anthropogenic impact of agricultural fertilizers and urban and industrial wastes.
期刊介绍:
La Houille Blanche, revue internationale de l ''eau/International Water Journal, is the only almost all French-written journal of Water science.
It promotes the dissemination of research and innovative practices in the field of water, as a key resource for everyday use for human needs, agriculture, energy and transport, and hydraulic public works. This includes environmental and risk assessment and management issues related to hydrology, meteorology, flood, low flows and drought, as well as issues in the field of fluid mechanics, hydraulics machinery, multiphase flows, microfluidics...
La Houille Blanche, International Water Journal, is cited by Science Citation Index Expanded of Institute for Scientific Information (I.S.I) in USA, and by CNRS in France; since 1902, the journal publishes high-standard relevant peer-reviewed research papers.
La Houille Blanche also provides more general information and recent news about the water world, and the SHF association and its members life: scientific events, book review, R & D advancements, …
Six issues per year. Thematical journal for original articles and reviews mostly in French.
