This paper investigates the relationship between river flow, rainfall and groundwater pumpage in the Mikkes stream during the period 1968-2009. The Mikkes basin is located in the north center of Morocco and consists of three different zones that represent diversified geologies. This basin includes a phreatic and confined aquifer in Saïs basin and a shallow aquifer in the Tabular Middle Atlas. A...

The Mikkes basin is located at the north centre of Morocco. The yearly approach of the P<2T ratio reveals a very bad monthly distribution of precipitations and a seasonal drought which is apparently observed well after the Eighties era. The extent of the drought can be shown clearly by the strong deficit of the river between the periods 1970-1979 and 1980-2000 which is considerable with around ...

The Mikkes basin is located at the north center of Morocco. It comprises three different zones which represent diversified geologies which shelter a phreatic and confined aquifer in the Sais basin and a shallow aquifer in the Tabular Middle Atlas. The springs in the Sais phreatic aquifer have suffered a maximum depletion. The springs with a deep or mixed origin are known as low flow variation s...
