In Morocco, although it is often classified as a country with a semi-arid climate, floods are very frequent. Like other basins in the kingdom, the Sebou basin with a total area of 40 000 km² has experienced more catastrophic flooding in the past and these floods have caused enormous economic and even human losses. The objective of this study is to...

Hydrologic regionalization consists of regrouping stations and catchments in pools based on a similarity measure. Regionalization is commonly used to extract a robust signal that can be used to describe the hydrology of the region, or extrapolated to a location without measured information. Obviously, the similarity measure used affects the type of...

Hydrological modeling predicts flood discharge and diminishes the danger by minimizing the environmental damages downstream. This study aimed to investigate the application of the ATHYS Models platform for simulating the rainfall-runoff relationship in Oued Laou Watershed (940 km2). The study area is characterized by strong storms associated with t...

With the development of remote sensing technology, several spatial sources for measuring precipitation have become available: Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) data are of particular interest. The CHIRPS product was used, evaluated, and compared within the Tensift basin located in west-central Morocco, for the peri...

Merja Zerga is the most important wetland for wintering shorebirds in Morocco. To understand the role of intertidal habitats as feeding areas, a study that aims to analyse the composition, structure and spatial organization of macrobenthic fauna in the main habitats frequented by shorebirds has been conducted. From the analysis of 570 samples distr...
