Abstract:

 

Plants have a crucial role in the economy of subsistence of the farming and semi-urban areas of Morocco  food, traditional medicine, handicraft, etc. . In other respects, the integrated management of water resources interferes with the phyto-diversity conservation  soil fixation, bio-indicators of water quality, etc. . One of the approaches to highlight the "phyto-diversity/water management" comprises an assessment of plants exploitation by the riparian population. Based on land studies and prospecting in upstream of the Sebou-wadi watershed  province of Taounate, North of Morocco , we have identified more of 129 plant species and subspecies used in food  60%  and/or in traditional medicine  52% . The financial income of the marketed plants is very variable [667 MAD.ha־¹.year־¹  Pisum sativum  – 114,133 MAD.ha־¹.year־¹  Capparis spinosa ; MAD = Moroccan Dirham], with a total average of 16,464.80 MAD.ha־¹.year־¹. Capparis spinosa and Olea europaea have casually a significant economic importance. The current plants exploitation would have negative repercussions on superficial waters.
