الماء في الثقافة الشعبية الأمازيغية و طرق تدبيره : منطقة زيان نموذجا

الملخص EN

The Moroccan oral tradition still has many implications related to the relationship of man with water, these contents confirm that water is a material basis for the ideology of unity and cohesion, so all customary restrictions are surrounded in order to be preserved.

This situation, which was occupied by the water, which raised it to the level of holiness in the past, is no longer existing, as it presented to Zayani person a series of transformations that affected the water system and changed his dealings and perception with it.

The preoccupation with water in the Zayane region is due to the fact that the Middle Atlas has long been known for its rich water resources, particularly the Zayane region, the area of rivers, waterfalls, lakes and fresh water springs, rain and snow, as well as the predominance of carbon rocks implemented, gives much importance to the area thanks to water.

This area contains continuous streaming rivers in Morocco, including the Um al-Rabia River, described by Hassan El Ouazani in his book "Description of Africa" as a very large river that flows from the Atlas between the high mountains on the border of Tadla and the Fez region, and runs through the Plains of Adkhsan, flowing into the ocean near the wall of Azmour.

After that, Marmul kerbkhal provides almost the same description as Wazzan.
