      <dc:description>The Moroccan phosphate deposits are the largest in the world. Phosphatic layers are&#xd;
extracted in open-pit mines mainly in the sedimentary basins of Gantour and Ouled Abdoun in Central&#xd;
Morocco. The purpose of this study was to prospect and evaluate the water potential of aquifers&#xd;
incorporated in the phosphatic series using the following geophysical methods: Magnetic resonance&#xd;
sounding (MRS), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), time-domain electromagnetics (TDEM),&#xd;
and frequency-domain electromagnetics (FDEM). The objective was, on the one hand, to contribute to&#xd;
the success of the drinking water supply program in rural areas around mining sites, and on the other&#xd;
hand, to delimit flooded layers in the phosphatic series to predict the necessary mining design for&#xd;
their extraction. The use of geophysical methods made it possible to stratigraphically locate the most&#xd;
important aquifers of the phosphatic series. Their hydraulic parameters can be evaluated using the&#xd;
MRS method while the mapping of their recharge areas is possible through FDEM surveys. The results&#xd;
obtained in two selected experimental zones in the mining sites of Youssoufia and Khouribga are&#xd;
discussed in this paper. The application of the implemented approach to large phosphate mines is in&#xd;
progress in partnership with the mining industry.</dc:description>
