Seawater intrusion is one of the most severe problems confronting coastal aquifers. These aquifers are often considered significant freshwater sources, particularly in arid regions. The water resources mobilized at Al Hoceima (Northeastern Morocco) come from Ghiss-Nekkor aquifer and Abdelkarim El Khattabi dam. degradation groundwater quality probability marine has become a concern for communities. current study provides multidisciplinary research using hydrogeochemical statistical approaches...
Soil erosion is an increasingly issue worldwide, due to several factors including climate variations and humans’ activities, especially in Mediterranean ecosystems. Therefore, the aim of this paper is: (i) quantify predict soil rate for baseline period (2000–2013) a future (2014–2027), using Revised Universal Loss Equation (RUSLE) Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model R’Dom watershed Morocco, based on opportunities Remote Sensing (RS) techniques Geographical Information System (GIS) geospatial...
Water quality index (WQI) is the primary method applied to characterize water in world. The current study employed statistical analysis and multilayer perceptron (MLP) approaches for predicting groundwater Ghiss-Nekkor aquifer, northeast of Al Hoceima, Morocco. Fifty sampled were identified analyzed major anions cations throughout May 2019. Several physicochemical parameters all samples this investigation, such as TDS, pH, EC, Na, K, Ca, Mg, HCO3, NO3, Br, SO4, Cl. entropy-weighted (EWQI)...
Water scarcity in the Rif region of northwestern Morocco, particularly Kert plain, has resulted significant groundwater exploitation to achieve human and socioeconomic objectives. These methods helped identification source dissolved elements mechanism that increased salinization. Current study is part groundwater's salinity sources hydrogeochemical development Oued basin (Mediterranean zone, Driouch province, eastern Morocco); 46 samples (45 wells one spring) were collected June 2021. Using...
Groundwater resources of the alluvial aquifer Ghiss Nekkor, which covers an area 100 km2, are main source domestic and agricultural freshwater supply in region Al Hoceima Morocco. Due to human activities (overexploitation, increase activity), this has become very sensitive chemical pollution. The principal objective current study is develop implement a calibration method assess, map, estimate vulnerability Nekkor pollution risk. In work, GIS-based DRASTIC model was used inherent...
In semi-arid regions such as the southwestern zone of Morocco, better management water resources is crucial due to frequent flooding phenomena. this context, use hydrological models becoming increasingly important, specifically in Aguenza watershed. A multitude are available make very efficient modeling, and from perspective, a comparative approach was adopted using two with different characteristics. Streamflow simulations were carried out continuously at daily time steps GR4J ATHYS...
All Discharge data are among the most critical factors that must be considered when evaluating management of water resources in a watershed. Simulation rainfall-runoff is therefore an important element assessing impacts serious flooding. In present study, Nekkor watershed Al Hoceima province was simulated using GIS, remote sensing and Hydrologic Engineering Center Modeling System (HEC-HMS) model. The applicability, capacity suitability this model for rainfall runoff were examined. parameters...
Abstract This study investigated groundwater in the central Rif region of northern Morocco by analysing 55 water sampling points to assess its physicochemical and hydrogeochemical properties. Through hydrochemical analysis, GIS spatial exploration, multivariate statistical a direct correlation was found between EC, TDS, major ions, influencing overall mineralization. The key findings included pH levels ranging from 6.10 8.52, EC 828 4581 μS/cm, varying concentrations Ca 2+ , Mg Na + K HCO 2...
Abstract The purpose of this study is to highlight the quality groundwater, with a special focus on level heavy metal contamination. To know extent contamination, protection and proper management groundwater resource indispensable. present work in line metallic assessment water Oued Kert basin (Mediterranean area, Driouch province, eastern Morocco) by collecting 46 samples following ISO 5665 standard tested pH, TDS, EC. Samples were analyzed for Heavy Metals ICP‐MS Flame Atomic Absorption...
The rainfall irregularity in the Al-Hoceima area places Ghis-Nekor coastal aquifer as a primary resource for water supply. However, it is of paramount priority to adopt management and optimization plans that can mitigate effects irrational use deterioration its quality region our study. In order study alteration aspects this aquifer, 26 wells were sampled their suitability irrigation was assessed. sodium adsorption rate (SAR) values indicate most groundwater samples fall into risk classes...
Together with geological survey data, satellite imagery provides useful information for mapping. In this context, the aim of study is to map units Saka region, situated in northeast part Morocco based on Landsat Oli-8 and ASTER images. Specifically, aims to: (1) lithological facies volcanic zone, (2) discriminate different minerals using imagery, (3) validate results field observations maps. To do so, we used techniques achieve above objectives including color composition (CC), band ratio...
Abstract Currently, the convergence of climate change, population growth, and deteriorating water quality has triggered a scarcity freshwater resources, presenting substantial hurdles for agricultural endeavors. Consequently, repurposing treated wastewater use is gaining prominence. This strategy offers noteworthy advantage by furnishing an alternative source, distinct from conventional freshwater, irrigation. The considered irrigation categories encompass wastewater, sewage with...
