Ce relief de plaine est toutefois traversé par plusieurs vallées d'oueds s'écoulant tous perpendiculairement à la côte. Les profils de ces vallées présentent des types très différents : doux sur la partie ouest de la région (oued Merzeg et oued Bouskoura) ainsi que les deux oueds (Arrimene et Gottaya) qui se jettent à Mansouria, très encaissés pour les oueds Maleh et Nfinfikh qui marquent profondément le paysage tout à la fois par leur relief et les occupations du sol qui en résultent (forêt ou parcours sur les flancs et zones naturelles ou agricoles irriguées).

flows into / runs into

Explanation:
A stream flows into a river or 'se jette' dedans. This is when a smaller river runs into a larger one or into the sea. I hope this helps, although there might be a better geographical term.
