| Popis: | The contamination of surface and ground water by pollution related to human activities remains a major global concern. The study of the physicochemical characteristics of surface and ground water of the Maghnia region will allow evaluation of the quality of the water in this region and will therefore lead to an examination of the possibility of pollutant transfer from watercourses and groundwater as long as aquifer-stream exchanges can occur where the hydrogeological conditions are met. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the quality of the water resources in the plain of Maghnia and investigate the contamination of ground water by pollution carried by surface water. We also evaluated the impact of anthropogenic and industrial pollution on the water in the region. For this study, sampling sites, including five stations monitoring the surface water along two main polluted rivers (Mouillah and Ouerdefou Rivers), were selected. Ten wells were selected around the Mouillah River and near the town of ... |
