In Morocco, the plio-quaternary aquifers of the Rharb basin are recognized by their high hydro geological potential and by the heterogeneity of their formations. The geological, lithostratigraphical and hydro geological studies allow the optimization of the exploitation of these aquifers. The present work, consist of utilizing a multi-sources data: geological, geoelectrical and hydro geological. The results obtained from the use of this data, concern the tridimensional geoelectrical modeling which helped to highlight the subdivision of South Sebou basin to at least two sub basins: coastal sub basin Ouled-salma-Morgane and sub basin of Rmila center, as well as the visualization of the lithostratigraphical limits in 3D for the first time. Comparative analysis of geoelectric cuts (WE, SW-NE and SSW-NNE) at the level of these two sub basins allows to highlight four big geoelectrical units distinct and more or less continuous.
The abandoned mine area of the High Moulouya District still represents an important resource. Main activities closely related to the abandoned mine are artisanal extraction, fossil and mineral trade, tourism, agriculture, and scientific research. The aim of this work is to investigate the geochemistry of open pits and waters flowing out of abandoned mine galleries. These waters are used by the inhabitants for agricultural purposes. The quality of those waters is moderately bad, the waters show contamination by trace and heavy metal.
