Groundwater, Contamination, Physical, Chemical, Biological Characterization, Water QualityAbstract
The negative contribution of humans has unbalanced the climate chain (biosphere, hydrosphere,
geosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere). Because of the demographic explosion and industrial development.
This has given rise to the notion of water scarcity. The contamination by chemical molecules and pathogens
with clinical relevance represents a challenge for global public health, specifically in arid zones such as the
Boumalne region. Thus, groundwater quality monitoring is necessary to provide early warnings and guide
public policies to protect these precious resources. The present project focused, on the physical, chemical,
and biological, characterization of the groundwater Dad. This investigation consists of analyzing 18
samples which were taken, of stations extending all Dades`s river starting from the upstream till the
downstream. Boumalne's groundwater has a good pH with excellent total iron levels. However, electrical
conductivity, fecal coliforms, fecal streptococci, and total coliforms are varied from low to excellent.
Nitrate levels vary from average to excellent. Physico-chemical and biological quality decreases from
upstream to downstream.
