Abstract
The current study was carried out at the level of the Ourika valley which is located 35 km from Marrakech and which is one of the most famous tourist sites in Morocco, in order to monitor the pollution status of the area and its impact on public health.Sampling was carried out seasonally at seven areas of the basin for the biological study (substrate samples) and at four areas for the microbiological study (water samples). The choice of areas is linked to accessibility and socio-economic activities near each area.The region is characterized by a fairly significant taxonomic richness (28 taxa identified, grouped into 6 major Orders: Ephemeroptera, Diptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera and Odonata), with less diversification in 2017 with the disappearance of five families (Hydrophylidae, Chaoboridae, Psychodidae, Ephydridae and Ephemerellidae), which could be due to the poor water quality recorded in certain areas according to th...
