Morphometric analysis of Igouzoulen basin (Western High Atlas, Morocco)

Morphometric analysis involves the precise measurement and mathematical scrutiny of the physical features of landscapes. Its importance lies in its pivotal role in deciphering the geohydrological attributes of a drainage basin, particularly in correlation with the topographical traits and the patterns of water flow within the terrain. The objective of this study was to numerically assess the morphometric features of the Igouzoulen watershed, aiming to facilitate the effective implementation of soil and water conservation practices. By quantifying the various morphological parameters within the watershed, the research endeavors to provide a solid foundation for informed decision-making in sustainable land management, thereby contributing to the successful execution of conservation strategies tailored to the specific characteristics of the Igoiuzoulen region.
