HYDROGEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND QUALITY OF GROUNDWATER IN THE SEBSEB REGION, GHARDAÏA PROVINCE (SOUTHERN ALGERIA)

The study of the hydrogeochemical characteristics of the groundwater samples made it possible to assess the impact of this process on the degradation of the quality of borehole water in the province of Sebseb. Samples taken from 10 boreholes across the study region were analyzed for the determinatio...
