The Fez-Meknes basin consists geomorphologically of the Meknes plateau to the west and the saïss plain to the east, separated by the Ain Taoujtat flexure. It is characterized by a semi-arid climate. Hydrogeologically, the basin contains two important aquifer reservoirs, a free and a captive water table. The first one circulates in the Plio-Villafranchian formations, while the second one is deep in the dolomitic limestone of the Lias. These two aquifers communicate with each other in some places, either directly through flexures and faults or indirectly through upward drainage. They are the main sources of drinking water and irrigation. These two aquifers have been overexploited due to successive years of drought and agricultural use. Thus, this work aims to monitor the piezometric level of the free water table through several field trips, technical data sheets of the drillings, geological and topographical maps. The analysis of rainfall data in the stations located around the piezometers in the study area allowed to distinguish a low water period (June, July, August and September) and a high-water period (March, April and May). The piezometric maps were made on the basis of the comparison between kriging and TIN during the low and high-water period. The TIN method has been recommended as the most reliable one.

This review paper presents the results of many years’ research and field observations on ecological status of the catchment of Lake Tana in relation to the socioeconomic issues. There are a number of wetlands in Lake Tana region such as shore areas, head springs, permanent and temporary floodplains (riverine and manmade) which serve as crop production, fisheries, sand mining, wetland products harvesting, etc. Population pressure and poverty have led to more intrusive activities, which have damaged the overall natural resources. Poor management practices further restricted the basic ecological services they provide (for example climate control, nutrient retention, drinking water provision, flood protection, etc.). The most outstanding threats of the shoreline and riparian wetlands stability are agriculture, industrial pollution, drainage activities and overharvesting of wetland resources. Management strategies should comprise both biophysical and socioeconomic aspects with emphasis on issues like adoption of watershed/ecosystem approach at policy level, integration of income generation in conservation activities, sharing of responsibility/benefits among local stakeholders, institutional strengthening for environmentally and socioeconomically sustainable development of lakes.
