Riparian vegetation and management of surface water, the case of the Inaouène-Wadi watershed (NW Morocco). Integrated management of water resources interfere, directly or indirectly, with the biodiversity conservation. In Morocco, most studies on plant diversity of wetland interested especially ecological and functioning aspects. In this work, we tried to establish a relationship between human activities (planning, pollution …) and wetland flora and its conservation status. The specific plant diversity (Spermatophyta and Pteridophyta) of the Inaouène River was estimated based on the riparian flora exploration of 21 stations. The main ecological and anthropogenic factors (sampling, planning …) affecting plant groups were discussed as elements interfering with the rivers management. The study highlights the dependence of the population vis-à-vis plant resources, which may have a negative impact on surface water, and more rational measures should be taken, namely the plantation of the native wetland plants and particularly maintaining an ecological flow in the downstream side the Idriss 1st dam.
