Description

Located at the North-eastern part of Morocco the plain of Triffa and the area of Saïdia are under a semiarid climate (Fig1). The water resources in this zone are rather fragile and influenced by a highly irregular rainfall distribution, both in time (annual and inter-annual distribution) and in space with a yearly average which does not exceed 240 mm.
