This project surveyed caregivers of autistic children to gauge the level of awareness of autism spectrum disorder, as well as the scope of services and treatments offered in Morocco. We interviewed families and professionals and gathered information from autism centers. With this information, we compiled a database and report for Autism Speaks that can identify areas of improvement for care.

Box. 8106, Agadir 80060, Morocco. 2Research Team EA 2642 “Geoscience: Deformation, Flow, Transfer”, Faculty of Sciences, University of Franche- Comté, 16 route de Gray, 25030 Besançon cedex, France. Accepted 1 September, 2009 The objective of our study was to determine the current status of alluvial aquifer in the Souss-Massa basin, where the nitrate pollution of groundwater is being increasing along the last decades. A multi- approach methodology using hydrogeology, nitrate concentrations, irrigation type and oxygen-18 and deuterium data, was carried out to identify the sources of this pollution. According to the spatial distribution of nitrate contents, nitrate pollution occurs mainly in Chtouka-Massa plain. More than 36% - of the sampled wells exceed the value of 50 mg/L as NO3 . Groundwater in Souss plain is less polluted comparing it to Chtouka-Massa; only 7% of wells exceed the permitted level. Agricultural practices in the study sites are the main cause of serious nitrate pollution given the superimposition of high nitrate concentrations with the distribution of irrigated perimeters. High nitrate levels are associated with high 18O values, clearly indicating that significant quantities of evaporated irrigation waters infiltrate along 18 - with fertilizer nitrate to groundwater system.
