AQUIFER SUCEPTIBILITY AND AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES EFFECT ON WATER QUALITY IN SEMIARID ZONE: EL MA LABIOD PLAIN, NORTH EAST OF ALGERIA

For more than three decades, many agrarian systems have been intensified in an attempt to reduce the widening gap in food deprivation. The concern to feed the population has meant that the consequences have not been well studied, especially the degradation of groundwater, which was not yet among the...
