Summary:Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah dam watershed is one of the most vulnerable areas of the risk of soil degradation due to its wide exposure, lithological heterogeneity and varying climatic factors. In this sense, the qualitative study of the spatial-temporal evaluation of ground-level occupancy from satellite visualisation data (acquired by the Landsat TM 5 and Landsat TM 8) device derives a land-use map that shows the areas at risk degradation after the integration of a combination of multiple factors into a GIS geographic information system (climate, terrain, pedology, vegetation cover and human intervention (anti-erosive practice); The results require adaptive vision to better control the phenomenon, toreduce its severity in areas at high risk of soil degradation.
