==Hydrogeology==
The hydrogeology map below shows a simplified version of the type and productivity of the main aquifers at a national scale (see [[Aquifer properties| the Aquifer properties resource page]] for more details on the derivation of the map).

==References==
Most information on the geology and hydrogeology of Western Sahara, and on the status, use and management of groundwater, is from Moroccan sources. A list of references on the [[Hydrogeology of Morocco References | geology and hydrogeology of Morocco]] includes information on Western Sahara.
