Abstract


The synclinal basin of Kourimat, situated in the oriental part of Essaouira basin, shelters an aquiferous carbonate. This aquiferous represents the unique resource in water for the region.
The study undertaken on this aquiferous has allowed us the characterize it viewpoint hydrodynamically, hydrogeologically and hydrogeochimically. The piezometric map of the system shows a senses of water flow underground of the southeast to the northwest. The hydraulic gradient varies from the upstream to the downstream. The evolution of the piezometry at one time watch of annual and seasonal fluctuations in connection with variations of precipitations.
The results of chemical analyses have allowed to distinguish two aquiferious: the first is Cenomanian, the second is Turonian. Theses aquiferious were diffrenciated by there chemical facies and the origine of chemicals elements.
