Assessment of Geohydraulic Parameters in Coastal Aquifers Using Electrical Resistivity Tomography: A Case Study from the Chaouia Region, Western Morocco
This study investigated the geohydraulic properties of the Chaouia coastal aquifer in western Morocco through two-dimensional Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT). Five resistivity profiles were carried out and inverted to define subsurface lithology and estimate hydraulic conductivity (K), effective porosity (Φeff), and transmissivity (T) using the empirical relationships.The obtained results showed that K ranged from 1.2 m/day to more than 217.4 m/day, Φeff varied between 20.3% and 47.8%, and T varied between 0.4 and 159.3 m2/day. These findings highlight considerable lithological variability, with low to intermediate values in Plio-Quaternary deposits and higher values in fractured Cretaceous marly limestones. Comparison with available pumping test data and numerical modeling validated the consistency of the ERT-derived estimates with independent hydrogeological evidence. The present study demonstrates that, in areas where pumping tests are limited or impractical, ERT provides an effective, non-invasive, and cost-efficient tool for aquifer characterization. These findings offer valuable insights for groundwater assessment and support the development of sustainable management strategies to mitigate overexploitation and seawater intrusion in vulnerable coastal aquifers and propose sustainable strategies for conserving these water resources.

Hepatitis A and E Viruses in Mussels from Cherrat Estuary in Morocco: Detection by Real-Time Reverse Transcription PCR Analysis
The aim of the present study was to evaluate hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) contamination in mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from Cherrat estuary (Moroccan Atlantic Coast), Morocco. In total, 52 samples (n=12 mussels/each) were collected at four sites in the estuary, monthly, between March 2019 and March 2020. HAV and HEV were detected by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) according to the ISO/TS 15216 method. HAV was detected in 46.15 of analyzed samples. Conversely, HEV was not detected in any sample. Moreover, the HAV detection rate was significantly associated with seasonal rainfall variations. This qualitative study on HAV and HEV contamination highlights the interest of studying mussel samples from wild areas. As HAV presence in mussels represents a potential health risk, viral contamination surveillance of mussels is necessary to protect consumers. HAV shellfish contamination must be monitored at Cherrat estuary because of the role played by shellfish as HAV reservoirs and/or vehicles in fecal-oral HAV transmission.
