Water quality is an important criterion for evaluating the suitability of water for drinking and domestic purpose. The main objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical characterization of groundwater for drinking water consumption. Ten captured sources were selected from three aquifers including the Guelma Mio-Plio-Quaternary alluvial basin; the Senonian Heliopolis Neritic limestone aquifer, and the Eocene limestones of Ras El Agba-Sellaoua aquifer. The analyses concerned the periods of high water in May 2017 and low water in August 2017. Twelve parameters were determined for the water samples: pH, T (°C), EC, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cl^–, HCO₃^–, SO₄^2–, NO₃^–, TH (hydrotimetric degree), TAT (total alkalinity titration). The interpretation of the various analytical results allowed the determination of the chemical facies and the classification of the groundwater aquifers as follows: (i) in the alluvial layer, the gypsiferous marl substratum and the clays of the three terraces (high, medium and low) have given the water a chlorinated calcium chemical facies in the east part of the study area and travertines feeding partly alluvial layer, and have given a bicarbonated calcium water facies in the west, (ii) in the Senonian of Heliopolis limestone and Eocene carbonate formations of Ras El Agba- -Sellaoua, the chemical facies are calcium bicarbonate. Water isotopes (δ¹⁸O and δD) helped to determine the origin of groundwater. Overall, the groundwater in the area is hard and has significant to excessive mineralization. It is progressively degraded in the direction of flow, especially in the Guelma alluvial aquifer.

Jakość wody jest ważnym kryterium oceny jej przydatności do picia i potrzeb domowych. Celem pracy było zbadanie fizycznych i chemicznych właściwości wody przeznaczonej do konsumpcji. Do badań wybrano dziesięć ujęć wody zlokalizowanych w trzech poziomach wodonośnych: aluwialny basen mioceńsko-plioceńsko-czwartorzędowy Guelma, wapienny poziom z okresu późnej kredy i poziom eoceńskich wapieni w Ras El Agba-Sellaoua. Analizy prowadzono w okresie wysokiej wody w maju 2017 r. i niskiej wody w sierpniu 2017 r. W próbkach wody oznaczono 12 parametrów: pH, T (°C), EC (przewodnictwo), Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Cl^{–3 –}, SO₄^2–, NO₃^–, TH (całkowita twardość), TAC (całkowita alkaliczność). Interpretacja uzyskanych wyników umożliwiła wydzielenie grup chemicznych i klasyfikację poziomów wodonośnych w następujący sposób: (i) strefa aluwialna, gipsowo-wapienne podłoże i iły trzech tarasów (wysoki, średni i niski) – wody grupy chlorkowo-wapniowej we wschodniej części badanego obszaru i wody wodorowęglanowo-wapniowe w zachodniej części, (ii) wapienie późnej kredy i eoceńskie utwory węglanowe w Ras El Agba-Sellaoua – wody o charakterze wodorowęglanowo-wapniowym. Analiza izotopowa (δO¹⁸ i δD) pozwoliła ustalić pochodzenie wód gruntowych. Generalnie wody gruntowe badanego obszaru są twarde i charakteryzują się wysoką bądź nadmierną mineralizacją. Wody ulegają stopniowej degradacji w kierunku przepływu, szczególnie w aluwialnym poziomie wodonośnym Guelma.
