This study investigates the intricate relationship between hydrographic network organization, geological faults, and regional dynamics within the Kert basin in the Eastern Rif region. Through GIS hydrographic analysis, we analyze the impact of the hydrographic network on landscape morphology and hydrological dynamics, emphasizing implications for sustainable water resource management. Results reveal the presence of dendritic and parallel hydrographic networks influenced by geological faults, which guide water flow and shape drainage patterns. Seasonal variations in sediment load show significant transport in September and May, indicating increased torrentiality in upstream areas. Fault structures play a crucial role in landscape formation and water quality, with tectonic movements contributing to the development of reliefs and valleys. Understanding these interactions is vital for developing effective strategies for flood mitigation, ecosystem conservation, and sustainable water supply in the Kert basin and similar regions worldwide.
Key words: hydrographic network / Kert basin / environmental morphology / soil erosion / sustainable water resource management
