REMOTE SENSING SYSTEMS FOR DROUGHT 
AND DESERTIFICATION MONITORING 
THE CASE OF MOROCCO

KEY WORDS : Desertification, Monitoring, Modelling, Indicators, Remote sensing, GIS/DIS. 
ABSTRACT 
The objective of this paper is to focus on the remote sensing applications and the Moroccan experience, as a case study, in matter of 
monitoring and controling desertification, using conventional methods as well as new technologies. The adopted approach includes : 1) 
a diagnosis of the extent of desertification and means of controling it, 2) an assessment of the contribution of new technologies - 
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) - at local and national levels, and 3) an analysis of some projects realized 
at the regional level. 
The achieved diagnosis allowed to highlight the excessive deterioration of vegetation and soil under the effect of physical factors and 
human impact, mainly deforestation, overgrazing, erosion and salinization. In order to stop this deterioration, a national plan was put in 
action in 1986, including several sectorial programs : watershed protection, rangeland management, irrigation improvement, 
mobilization of water resources, forest conservation and sand immobilization. Currently, Morocco is preparing a new national action 
plan which will be based on the assessment of the above mentioned programs and the utilization of new technologies. 
Remote sensing was used in operational ways at the national level for the development of environmental indicators (vegetation index, 
albedo, surface temperature, emissivity and thermal inertia) in order to produce risk maps. At the local level, several applications were 
achieved in relation with the deterioration of vegetation and soil as well as the management of water resources. The two approaches 
(national and local) are based respectively on low (NOAA/AVHRR) and high (Landsat. Spot, etc.) resolution satellite data, 
within the framework of the regional cooperation, CRTS is participating actively in several projects for desertification study and 
monitoring : CAMELEO associating the countries of North Africa, ROSELT covering the region of Sahara and Sahel Observatory, and 
a research project with the University of Valencia in Spain. 
The sectorial applications and the thematic projects reviewed above have demonstrated the operationality of remote sensing and GIS in 
studying the principal components of desertificatioa The complexity of the phenomenon requires the development of a desertification 
information system (DIS) permitting the integration and tire modelization of the sectorial results. 
RÉSUMÉ 
L'objectif de cet article est de présenter les expériences marocaines en matière de suivi et de lutte contre la désertification, aussi bien 
par les méthodes conventionnelles que par les nouvelles technologies. L'approche méthodologique adoptée comporte : 1) un diagnostic 
sur l'ampleur de la désertification et les moyens de lutte, 2) une évaluation de la contribution des teclmiques nouvelles (télédétection et 
Systèmes d'information Géographique) au niveau local et national, et 3) une analyse des projets en matière de coopération régionale. 
Le diagnostic réalisé a permis de mettre en évidence la dégradation excessive de la végétation et du sol sous l’effet de facteurs 
physiques et anthropiques dont principalement la déforestation, le surpâturage, l’érosion et la salinisation. En vue de freiner cette 
dégradation, un plan national a été mis en œuvre en 1986, comportant plusieurs programmes sectoriels : protection des bassins 
versants, aménagement des terrains de parcours, amélioration de la grande irrigation, préservation des forêts et lutte contre 
l’erisablement. Actuellement, le Maroc entame la préparation d’un nouveau plan d’action national qui sera basé sur l’évaluation des 
programmes cités ci-dessus, l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies et l’approche participative des populations. 
Ainsi, la télédétection a été utilisée de façon opérationnelle au niveau national pour l’élaboration d’indicateurs envionnementaux 
(indice de végétation, albédo, température de surface, émissivité, inertie thermique) dans le but de produire des cartes de risque. Au 
niveau local, plusieurs applications ont été réalisées en relation avec la dégradation de la végétation et du sol ainsi que la mobilisation 
des ressources en eau. Les deux approches globale et locale sont basées respectivement sur les données faible (NOAA/AVHRR) et 
haute (Landsat, Spot, etc.) résolution spatiale. 
Dans le cadre de la coopération au niveau régional, le CRTS participe à la réalisation de trois projets pour l’étude du phénomène : 
CAMELEO associant les pays d’Afrique du Nord, ROSELT couvrant la région de l’OSS et un projet de recherche avec l’Université de 
Valence en Espagne.
