The wetland complex of Guerbes-Sanhadja (north-eastern Algeria), has experienced in recent years a certain economic expansion, particularly agricultural, about 47% of the useful agricultural area marked by several varieties of crops ranging from market gardening to speculative crops, requiring large quantities of water for irrigation purposes, however the swampy areas are the main sources used for irrigation purposes in this practice. It is therefore necessary for this water to have physicochemical properties adapted to plants, in particular the absence of salinity. This study was done to evaluate the status of the swamps areas quality and its suitability for irrigated agriculture. To achieve this objective, water samples from ten swamps areas water were collected from Guerbes- -Sanhadja in February and June of 2016. The water quality of these swamps was estimated from different water quality parameters such as pH and electrical conductivity (EC), the chemical parameters like Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, HCO₃^–, SO₄^2–, Cl^–, BOD₅, NO₃^–, NO₂^–, NH₄⁺ and PO₄^3–. Based on the physico-chemical analyses, irrigation quality parameters like sodium absorption ratio (SAR), percent sodium (% Na), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), permeability index (PI), magnesium hazard (MH) were calculated. The results showed that the overall concentration of nitrate was very high. About 60 percent of the swampy areas had suitable water quality for chloride, and they had a concentration below the permissible limit for crop irrigation. From the Richards diagram, it is observed that most of the samples from the study area fall in the good to permissible classes for irrigation purpose.

Kompleks środowisk podmokłych Guerbes-Sanhadja (północnowschodnia Algieria) był w ostatnich latach terenem ekspansji gospodarczej, głównie rolniczej. Około 47% użytków rolnych wykorzystano do uprawy kilku rodzajów roślin od ogrodnictwa po uprawy polowe wymagające dużej ilości wody. Obszary bagienne są głównym źródłem tej wody. Dlatego ważne jest, aby jakość wody do nawodnień była odpowiednia dla roślin, zwłaszcza żeby nie była zasolona. Przedstawione badania wykonano w celu oceny stanu wód na obszarach bagiennych i ich przydatności do nawodnień. Próbki wody pobrano z dziesięciu stanowisk z Guerbes-Sanhadja w lutym i czerwcu 2016 roku. Analizowano pH, przewodnictwo elektrolityczne oraz stężenie Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, HCO₃^–, SO₄^2–, Cl^–, BOD₅, NO₃^–, NO₂^–, NH₄⁺ i PO₄^3–. Na podstawie wyników analiz obliczono parametry jakości wody, takie jak współczynnik adsorpcji sodu (SAR), procent sodu (%Na), rezydualny węglan sodu (RSC), wskaźnik przepuszczalności (PI) i ryzyko magnezowe (MH). Wyniki świadczą o bardzo dużym stężeniu azotanów. Na ok. 60% obszarów bagiennych wody mają odpowiednie stężenie chlorków, mniejsze niż limity dopuszczalne dla wód do nawadniania. Z diagramu Richardsa wynika, że większość próbek z badanego obszaru mieści się w dobrej lub dopuszczalnej klasie jakości wody do irygacji.
