Abstract
This study is conducted in The Guerrara Oasis; suffer from high salinity of alluvial aquifer
used in drinking and irrigation, the distribution of the drilled wells in the study area is
anarchic and water salinity is a subsisting problem all along the year,
To evaluate the problem gravity two hydrochemical campaigns are acquired during wet and
dry seasons , the results confirms the presence of saliferous bodies affecting water quality,
The order of abundance of the ions in the ground water samples is
Cl->Na+>SO4
->Mg2+>Ca2+>HCO3
->K+ the piper diagram reveals that’s the ground water is Cl-
- SO4
- and mixed Cl- - Na+ indicating a evaporitic hydro-chemical type, Multiariate statistics
and special geochimestry diagrams are used to evaluate the chemical process responsible in
groundwater salinization.
