Abstract EN:

This present work studies the earth, the water and the man in the berrechid plain and its surrounds (morocco). A general approach seems to be essential to understand the methode of exploitation and the froms of occupation of the soil in this area essentially agricultural. The three terms of the title constitude three themes, three systems, each of them being composed of several elements (i. E. :geomorphology, sol-climatology, hydrogeology-history and systems of exploitation). The role and the working of each element have been researched to show that each of them is a factor influencing the others. Beyond this analysis, the links which combine the three terms and explain the rural landscapes have to be determined. Besides, our objective is to establish the interaction between the natural and human environment and to understand better the geographical slight differences which characterize the organisation of the space in the berrechid plain and its surrounds.
