Abstract
The Middle Atlas region, distinguished by its diverse natural landscapes, hosts approximately forty lakes, each formed through unique geological processes, predominantly tectonic movements and karst phenomena. This research focuses on a specific case study of a lake formed by a landslide within the northern Middle Atlas. Employing both field and laboratory water analysis techniques, this study meticulously evaluates the physico-chemical parameters of the lake's water and its adjacent aquatic systems. The primary objective is to delineate the physico-chemical quality of the water in Tamda Lake and to elucidate its hydrological attributes, thereby contributing to the broader understanding of limnological dynamics in geologically diverse terrains. This investigation not only sheds light on the physico-chemical status and hydrological behavior of Tamda Lake but also enhances our comprehension of lake formation processes in the Middle Atlas, offering insights into the environmental and geological factors influencing water quality in naturally occurring lakes.
