Abstract
 

A profile irrigated by sewage was sampled in the vicinity of the Meknes city to analyze the concentrations of the TEs. In fact, the reuse of raw wastewater is a large practice in the urban and periurban agricultures developed around the city of Meknes favourite by a water deficiency and a small cast of wastewater. Our study is carried primarily to determine vertical evolution and second to predict the different sources of Trace Elements in studied profile. In this feel the vertical behaviours of TEs on profile are evaluated by a Chemical Assessment calculus and we are tried to determine the various relationships between the considered Trace Elements in studied profile and in sewage samples. These last are terminated by a Multivariate Analyse, a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and a Hierarchic Ascending Classification (HAC) analyses. The results obtained show the presence of the more or less significant concentrations according to the analyzed elements. These concentrations are related to sewage application and others agricultural practices such as the fertilization, the pesticides, etc.
