Hydro-electric study of bajocian aquifer of Mellaha village, Oued Guir, Er- Rachidia, Morcco

Abstract

The village of Mellaha is located in the sector of Gourama in the province of Er-Rachidia. In the boundary between the central and eastern  High Atlas. In severe climatic conditions as well as the risk of water shortage, a study proposed in collaboration with the local  associations, aiming at: The mapping of the groundwater of the village by means of the electrical soundings as well as possible zones of  recharge with through fault mapping by remote sensing. The treatment of electrical drill data revealed a series of logs showing  alternation between marly and calcareous levels. This series of logs presents a continuous aquifer of variant depth between 1.54m and   79.8m, contained in the limestone formations of Bajocian.
