Morphometric characterization of upstream mountainous watershed using Geographic Information System (GIS): High valley of Tifnoute -High Moroccan Atlas
Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
The National park of Toubkal, was creates in 1942, in the High Moroccan Atlas, one of the regions rich in biodiversity, constitutes in addition, a very interesting cultural heritage. Sheltering more the high summits in North of Africa (Toubkal 4167 meter), and is characterized by very important watershed resources. The high valley of Tifnoute is a basin belonged to this Park; the choice of this research topic was guided by the concern of better, to develop, and preserve this Park. The Morphometric and environmental analysis gives us a general idea about drainage of water, and different characteristics of watershed .To determine a different parameters of the high valley of Tifnoute we used geographic information system (GIS).The results clearly indicate the basin is characterized by a very high altitudes, dendritic drainage and strong slopes, which can influence the environmental lithologie in the study area.
