Abstract :

[en] The dam of Takerkoust, located at the outlet side of N'fis Basin (Western High Atlas of Morocco), is one of the strategic reservoirs in Morocco facing a serious problem of siltation due to soil erosion. A paleo-hydrology approach combining chronological and sedimentological analyses is conducted to understand the evolution of the depositional sediment history of the Takerkoust reservoir between 1988 and 2016. First, a series of 8 bathymetric surveys in the Takerkoust reservoir was used to determine the chronology of flood event deposits. Second, grain size distribution, clay mineralogy (XRD) and organic matter content were analyzed in 2 cores drilled in the Takerkoust reservoir and the newly build Ouirgane reservoir in upstream (from which 46 samples were taken). Third, Soils samples collected from the uppermost soil horizons (First 5 cm) of different localities of the N'fis watershed were also analyzed to identify sediments origins. Eleven couplets with different textures and thickness are identified in the Takerkoust reservoir corresponding to the period 1988–2016. The highest correlation is observed between instantaneous maximum flow and thickness of the sandy component of the couplets. The variation of the siltation rate allows highlighting two distinct periods: the oldest period (1988–1999) characterized by a high sediment yield SY (908.6 t·km−2·yr−1) and a youngest one (1999–2016) characterized by a low SY (203.9 t·km−2·yr−1). The newly built Ouirgane dam, seems to be responsible for the decreasing siltation rate and change of the clay assemblages of the sedimentary series in Takerkoust reservoir.
