Consideraciones sobre la hidrogeología y la hidrogeoquímica de la Dorsal Calcárea de la región de Tetuán (Rif septentrional, Marruecos)

Abstract

Limestone and dolomite, belonging to the Calcareous Dorsal, constitute very important karstic aquifers in the region of Tetouan (North of Morocco). The main objective of this study is to characterize the hydrogeology and the hydrochemistry of the karstic springs related to these terrains. Springs appear along the geologic contacts of the carbonated rocks with the neighbouring materials, sometimes related to faults. Spring waters are mainly bicarbonate calcium and magnesium types
