Many countries employ mining and ore processing techniques to concentrate and extract precious natural resources. However, the slow leaching of numerous dissolved elements and compounds from large quantities of waste rock and mine tailings can significantly threaten groundwater quality in the affected region. When exposed to oxygen and water, sulfi...

The mine A tailings storage was used successively for the deposition of sulfide tailings, and the co-deposition of sludge and slag. With the objective to evaluate the hydrochemical behavior of these materials, humidity cell tests were used. These cell tests internationally operated to simulate sulfide mineral oxidation and acid generation at contro...

Many coastal aquifers have experienced seawater intrusion (SWI) into fresh groundwater aquifers. The principal causes of SWI include over-pumping and events such as climate change (CC) and rising sea levels. In northern Morocco, the Rmel-Oulad Ogbane coastal aquifer (ROOCA) supplies high-quality groundwater for drinking water and agriculture. This...

The study area of Rmel-O. Ogbane aquifer, located in the north of Morocco, currently faces major water challenges related to the sustainable management of water resources. Climate change and Sea-Level�Rise can increase the risks and costs of water resources management and impact water resources' quantity and quality. Hence, for planning and managem...

Water resources management in arid countries requires the provision of all the necessary decision support tools, and implies taking into account the climate change component which becomes a structural reality. The Foum El Oued aquifer is one of the important water resources reservoir in the Laâyoune region, in the south of Morocco. It is facing the...

The Sahel is part of the coastal Sahel basin of Doukkala that borders the Atlantic Ocean on the northwest and covers an area of approximately 4146 km2. It includes several urban centres and a large industrial complex. In this area, the Sahel aquifer is vulnerable to Climate Change (CC) and intensive pumping mainly in the coastal fringe, where the a...

Surface water and groundwater are two interrelated components, where the influence of one automatically affects the quantity and quality of the other. These exchange flows are robustly influenced by some mechanisms such as permeability, lithological nature of the soil, landscape, in addition to the difference between the hydrometric height of the r...

The study area of Rmel-O. Ogbane aquifer, located in the north of Morocco, currently faces major water challenges related to the sustainable management of water resources. Climate change and Sea-Level-Rise can increase the risks and costs of water resources management and impact water resources' quantity and quality. Hence, for planning and managem...

This study investigates the climate change variability and its impact on water resources in some hydrologic watersheds and aquifers of Morocco, using climate and hydrological modelling From RICCAR data. These changes in temperature and precipitation would have a direct impact on groundwater recharge of the aquifer and surface water storage in the d...

Côte d'Ivoire, like many African countries, has many construction sites and we can witness the transformation of these cities. Our study is interested in Bondoukou, a city in the northeast of the Côte d'Ivoire which does not escape the major development paths. Through this study we used satellite images to have the characteristics of our study area...

This study investigates the climate change variability and its impact on water resources in hydraulic basins located in both Mediterranean and Atlantic fronts of Morocco, using climate and hydrological modeling. Several climate parameters and their projections in the future have been analyzed to assess climate changes, including wet and dry periods...

La majorité des centres urbains et ruraux du bassin du Bas-Loukkos (nord du Maroc) sont généralement situés sur la côte et les plaines côtières. L'augmentation de la demande en eau due à la démographie et au développement agricole est accompagnée par une pression sur les eaux souterraines. Cette situation a entraîné une baisse significative du nive...

Located in north-western of Morocco, the Rmel-Oulad Ogbane plain covers an area of 305 km2, where 32% is dominated by agriculture activities which is irrigated by surface water from the oued El Makhazine dam. In the plain, agriculture is marked by the intensive use of fertilizers and pesticides that cause diffuse pollution of groundwater. In additi...

In many countries of the world, groundwater is the main source of water in arid and semiarid regions. The scarcity of water is one of the main issues in Morocco. The coastal aquifer system of Rmel-Oulad Ogbane is recognized as one of the most important aquifers in Morocco and is very well known for their role in industrial, economic, and social dev...

Water resources in Morocco are recognized to be upon the most important water resources suffering from scarcity due to arid and semi-arid conditions, aggravated by global climatic changes occurring worldwide. More than 9.5 million people are living in the coastal cities of Morocco and this number is steadily growing. Indeed, in 2015 more than 50% o...

The Moroccan eastern region is characterized by: A total population 2,314,346 inhabitants (in 2014) (6.84% of the population of Morocco) by a density 24 inhabitants per km 2. The population structure is as follows: 30% under 15 years of age, 50% of the population is under 25 years of age, 61% of working age (15-60 years), 9% in the third age group...

The majority of urban and rural centers of Morocco are generally located on the coast and the coastal plains. The increase in water demand, due to demographic and agricultural development, is accompanied by pressure on groundwater abstraction. This situation causes significant drops of the groundwater level and may eventually cause a deficit water...
