Abstract: The Bou Ahmed plain, which is part of the internal area of the Rif, is located along the Mediterranean coast, 30 kilometers of Oued Laou town. This basin is made up by a quaternary filling mainly formed by detrital fluvial facies, channeled conglomerates surmounted by fluvial sand interlayered with pebbles; these facies can be new potential aquifers formations areas. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to build a lithostratigraphic three dimensional model to identify the hydrogeological units and the reservoir geometry of the Bou Ahmed plain. In order to achieve this goal, we have created a database made up by Vertical Electrical Sounding surveys and drilling data integrated into a Geographic Information System. This database allowed us to establish a three-dimensional model of the bottom, geoelectric cross-sections, isopach and isoresistivity maps of new potential aquifers units. This approach allowed us to explain the modalities of deposition for the quaternary deposits of the Bou Ahmed plain and to identify potential hydrogeological reservoirs. These results will also be used to develop a hydrodynamic model based on MODFLOW code in the Bou Ahmed aquifer.
