QUANTIFICATION ET EVALUATION DE L’EROSION HYDRIQUE EN UTILISANT LE MODÈLE RUSLE ET DÉPOSITION INTÉGRÉS DANS UN SIG. APPLICATION DANS LE BASSIN VERSANT N'FIS DANS LE HAUT ATLAS DE MARRAKECH (MAROC)

Located in the High Atlas central-western, N'Fis basin shows a dissected topography, frequent and violent floods, and its characterization by a litho-stratigraphic succession from the Precambrian to the current that engender significant erosion, and cause reservoirs siltation. This study aims to map areas vulnerable to erosion in the N'Fis Basin, developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) into account soil types, networks of drainage and traffic direction integrating remote sensing and spatial data. The results highlight the hydrographic phenomena and their effects on water resources. To achieve the objective of calculating the RUSLE equation Factor, it was based on annual and monthly climate data, field missions, the digital elevation model and satellite imagery. The result indicates a change in the rate of erosion and the values are between 7t / ha / year downstream of the wadi N'fis and a maximum value 1221t / ha / year to non-arable areas and areas with strong slope values

Tectonics of the Anti-Atlas of Morocco

Tectonique de l'Anti-Atlas marocain. L'Anti-Atlas est revu et examiné sous l'angle de sa signification géodynamique comme bassin paléozoïque et comme chaîne plissée paléozoïque. Le raccourcissement est accommodé par le plissement polyharmonique de la couverture, avec une nette implication du socle. Aucun système significatif de chevauchement ni duplex ne s'est développé. L'Anti-Atlas est un bassin intracratonique fortement inversé plutôt qu'une partie de la marge passive de la Paléotéthys. L'inversion doit dater du Carbonifère tardif/Permien précoce. La direction du raccourcissement a changé au cours du temps depuis une direction NW–SE vers une direction nord–sud et peut-être même NE–SW, ce qui conduit à la formation de figures d'interférences de plis en dômes et bassins aux échelles allant de 100 m à 10 km.The Anti-Atlas is reviewed and examined in the light of its geodynamic significance as a Palaeozoic basin and fold belt. Shortening is accommodated by polyharmonic buckle folding of the cover in a thick-skinned fashion without the development of any significant thrust/duplex systems. The Anti-Atlas is heavily inverted deep intracratonic basin, rather than a former passive margin of the Palaeo-Tethys Ocean. Inversion took place in Late Carboniferous to Early Permian times. Main shortening directions changed from NW–SE to north–south and maybe NE–SW through time, leading to the development of dome and basin patterns on scales from 100 m to 10 km
