Abstract. The Ghiss-Nekor aquifer, located in the north-east of the action area of the ABHL, plays a strategic role in the drinkable water supply of the city of Al Hoceima and of the neighboring urban areas. It also participates in the irrigation of PMH. However, this aquifer has problems such as over-exploitation and pollution. In the face of these problems, the only Solution is the establishment of a new mode of governance, which privileges the participation, the involvement and the responsibility of the actors concerned in a negotiated contractual framework, namely the aquifer contract. The purpose of this study is to diagnose the current state of the Ghiss Nekor aquifer, the hydrogeological characterization of the aquifer, the use of the waters of the aquifer, the Problem identification and the introduction of the aquifer contract, which aims at the participatory and sustainable management of underground water resources in the Ghiss- Nekor plain, to ensure sustainable development. 1 Introduction Morocco has always made the development of the water sector a priority and a strategic choice. This sector, one of the main levers of economic and social development, faces two key challenges: [1] - The depletion of water resources in relation to the increase in all-purpose water demand, with a tendency towards absolute scarcity by 2025 [1] - The degradation of water resources that undergo different forms of pollution.
