Abstract
The Alluvials formations of the plain of Tadighoust (Goulmima region) have been affected by the effects of dryness and excessive drought that led to the depletion of the particular quaternary slick surface. Increasing water demand needed to power up the population and irrigated areas require looking for water sources from deep reservoirs. Hydrogeological studies were previously conducted are mainly based on the potentiometric analysis of the works, but they have not helped to define precisely the outline of transfer of deep flows in this region. The deep circulation is distributed in a wide heterogeneity that can't be defined as from the introduction of the geophysical technique. We therefore undertook measures electrical and electromagnetic prospecting at this plain, in order to highlight the main areas of deep fracturing in connection with the preferential water circulation and favor the establishment of productive wells.
