Application of Electrical Methods for the Recognition of the Geometry of the Senonian Aquifer in the West Boudnib (Errachidia-Morocco)

The province of Errachidia-Boudnib, located in southeast Morocco, is an arid area known for its rarity of precipitation. Desertification and overexploitation of groundwater have accentuated the downward trend in groundwater levels in aquifers. This study is made for implementation in parallel with the exploitation programs, of comprehensive studies for the recognition of the aquifer of Sénonien. Geophysical methods (drilling and electrical tomography) allow the geometric configuration of the aquifer system of the region of Boudenib, to help those responsible to manage the water resources more effectively. The results from this study reveal important insights into the spatial distribution and geometry of the aquifers, providing crucial data that can inform future water resource management strategies in the region. Moreover, this research underlines the need for continuous monitoring and assessment of groundwater levels to mitigate the impacts of desertification in the area. The use of innovative geophysical techniques presents a promising approach for identifying potential groundwater reserves, addressing the challenges posed by the arid climate and the increasing demand for water resources. This work ultimately aims to contribute to sustainable environmental management in the context of a changing climate.
