The distribution of each taxon for this region (12 Mediterranean and 26 Atlantic localities) is given. Using present-day taxonomy, 218 species, infra- specific taxa and life-history phases are accepted for the Moroccan coasts. Six new combinations are pro- posed: Phymatolithon calcareum (Pallas) W. H.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The quality of water resources in Morocco is degraded by pollution from agriculture, industry and urbanization. In this work we have realized a comparative study of three groundwater pollution sites: Mohammedia, Temara and Dar Bouazza. In general, the results of this study showed that most water wells are strongly mineralized as the conductivity far exceeds the standard of drinking water. Sodium chloride (NaCl) concentration is between 300 and 4000 mg / l and shows some of the wells are loaded with salts. These wells are ready for the old Mohammedia dump to be built in the industrial zone. The basic pH is generally in all wells.Pollution by nitrates three regions showed that the ground water is strongly affected Mohammedia terms of the permeability of the soil of the city.

Elle est composée selon le nouveau découpage de quatre provinces : Safi qui abrite le Chef-lieu de la région, El Jadida, Sidi Bennour et Youssoufia. La présente étude se propose de donner une présentation synthétique de la région à travers les données démographiques, les principaux secteurs d’activité productifs et sociaux ainsi que les infrastructures existantes. Les principaux axes autours desquels s'articule cette monographie sont : • La population de la région, sa structure et sa composition ; • L'urbanisation ; • Les conditions d'habitation des ménages ; • L'alphabétisation et la scolarisation ; • L'éducation ; • L'activité économique et l'emploi ; • L’environnement ; • L'infrastructure sanitaire et l'encadrement médical ; • Les équipements socioculturels ; • Les potentialités économiques de la région ; • Les secteurs productifs et sociaux. Le taux de croissance du PIB en valeur dans la région Doukala-Abda est de 8% soit un taux supérieur à la moyenne nationale (5%). Ainsi la région compte parmi les quatre régions qui participent à la création de la richesse nationale pour un peu plus du quart (27,9%) du PIB. Il s’agit des régions de de Tanger-Tétouan (7,9%), de Souss-Massa-Daraâ (7,6%), de Doukala-Abda (6,9%) et de Meknès- Tafilalet (5,5%).

  • Morocco (Al Mamlakah Al Maghribiyah)
    Morocco (Al Mamlakah al Maghribiyah) Last updated: 31-01-2004 Location and area Morocco is a hereditary monarchy in northwest Africa, bordered on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, on the east and southeast by Algeria, on the south by Western Sahara, and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. The southeastern boundary, in the Sahara Desert, is not precisely defined. Within Morocco are the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, on the Mediterranean coast. Several small islands off the northern coast of Morocco are also possessions of Spain. The area of Morocco is 453,730 km2. Since 1979, Morocco has also occupied the adjacent region known as Western Sahara (formerly Spanish Sahara). Topography Morocco has the broadest plains and the highest mountains in North Africa. The country has four main physiographic regions: 1. An area of highlands, called Er Rif, paralleling the Mediterranean coast; 2. The Atlas Mountains (with Toubkal 4,165 m as highest mountain), extending across the country in a south-western to north-eastern direction between the Atlantic Ocean and Er Rif, from which the mountains are separated by the Taza Depression. Elevations in Er Rif attain heights of about 2,400 m; 3. The Atlantic coastal plain along the Atlantic Ocean, framed in the arc formed by Er Rif and the Atlas Mountains; 4. The plains and valleys south of the Atlas Mountains, which merge with the Sahara along the southeastern borders of the country. Morocco has many rivers, which are used for irrigation and for generating electric power. The chief rivers are the Moulouya, which drains into the Mediterranean Sea, and the Sebou, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
