      An assessment of potential groundwater areas in the Ifni basin, located in the western AntiAtlas range of Morocco, was conducted based on a multicriteria analytical approach that integrated a set of geomorphological and hydroclimatic factors influencing the availability of this resource. This approach involved the use of geographic information systems (GIS) and hierarchical analytical process ...
    • Integrating Erosion Potential Model (EPM) and PAP/RAC Guidelines for Water Erosion Mapping and Detection of Vulnerable Areas in the Toudgha River Watershed of the Central High Atlas, Morocco

      This study aimed to evaluate the extent and severity of water erosion in the Toudgha river catchment in the Central High Atlas of Morocco using two different erosion models, the Erosion Potential Model (EPM) and the Priority Actions Programme/Regional Activity Centre (PAP/RAC) model. From the modeling results, the catchment was affected by varying degrees of erosion, ranging from “very slight” ...
    • The Missing Link in the Genesis of the Lower Paleozoic Copper Deposits of the Anti-Atlas (Morocco): The Late Triassic Central Atlantic Magmatic Province Event 

      Ouchchen, Mohammed; Abia, El Hassan; Soulaimani, Abderrahmane; Abioui, Mohamed; Lutz, Brandon; Benssaou, Mohammed; Abdelrahman, Kamal; Abu-Alam, Tamer; Echogdali, Fatima Zahra; Boutaleb, Said (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-30)
      Copper mineralization in the Lower Paleozoic sedimentary cover of the Anti-Atlas (Morocco) is continually being revised not only to improve its mining capacity, but also to determine its origin, which remains a matter of debate. As evidenced by the various models proposed, the related research is fragmented, localized, and confusing. The origin of the Anti-Atlas Lower Paleozoic copper mineralization ...
    • Streamflow Simulation in Semiarid Data-Scarce Regions: A Comparative Study of Distributed and Lumped Models at Aguenza Watershed (Morocco) 

      Bouizrou, Ismail; Aqnouy, Mourad; En-nagre, Khalid; El Yousfi, Yassine; Khafouri, Azzeddine; Hilal, Ismail; Abdelrahman, Kamal; Benaabidate, Lahcen; Abu-Alam, Tamer; Stitou El Messari, Jamal Eddine; Abioui, Mohamed (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-20)
      In semi-arid regions such as the southwestern zone of Morocco, better management of water resources is crucial due to the frequent flooding phenomena. In this context, the use of hydrological models is becoming increasingly important, specifically in the Aguenza watershed. A multitude of hydrological models are available to make very efficient modeling, and from this perspective, a comparative ...
