    Salinity contamination of irrigation ground water is a serious worldwide problem. The Mnasra zone, which has an agricultural land area that represents 70% of the total area and its agricultural production reaches12% of the national production, is threatened by a Salinization of underground waters. The ground water available in this region allows the supply of a population of 145 000 inhabitants. We have developed a simple mechanistic simulation model for predicting future Salinization in this ground water. The method adopted to predict the variation of salinity pollution in ground water is the same as the population based on an increase (ordecrease) geometry (geometric series). This work allows preparing for and coping with the environmental pollution that threatens not only humans, but also the fauna and flora of this region. According to this study, we predict an area of 8730 hectares where water will be polluted by the salinity in 2021. These results will have a negative impact at medium and long terms on the agricultural production of this region

    Les eaux souterraines qui reprĂ©sentent les seules ressources en eau de la M’nasra cĂŽtiĂšre, sont minĂ©ralisĂ©es : intrusion marine, Ă©vaporation, recyclage des eaux d’irrigation chargĂ©es en sels et l’utilisation abusive des engrais. L’évolution spatio-temporelle de la pollution nitrique de cette nappe phrĂ©atique a Ă©tĂ© suivie sur 159 puits, objective en trois pĂ©riodes de campagne Ă©clatĂ©es : 2003, 2007 et 2010 qui inclue une pĂ©riode exceptionnellement pluvieuses. Une comparaison par apport Ă  l’état de la nappe en 1993, date de dĂ©but de la surexploitation des eaux souterraines, a Ă©tĂ© faite. Les suivis ont montrĂ© qu’à la suite des Pluiesimportantes de la pĂ©riode de campagne 2009/2010, on a pu observer une dĂ©gradation de la qualitĂ© de la nappe aussi bien au niveau ponctuel qu’au niveau spatial, en particulier dans la partie Nord de la zone Ă©tudiĂ©e (aunord de la ligne de cordonnĂ©e Y = 430 000 m). Les rĂ©sultats de cette Ă©tude sont prĂ©sentĂ©s sous forme de cartes thĂ©matiques par le SIG.  Mots clĂ©s: AquifĂšre cĂŽtier, inondation, pollution nitrique, nappe phrĂ©atique, M’nasra, Maro
