Physico-chemical study of the water table in the region of Mnasra, Morocco
Keywords:
physico-chemical, leachate infiltration, groundwaterAbstract
The considerable increase in the leachate infiltration rate through the Oulad Berja landfill as well as agricultural activities in the Mnasra region have a detrimental effect on the quality of groundwater. The percolation of leachate through the unsaturated zone of the soil, towards the water table, could have serious consequences on the quality of water and the environment in general. Groundwater is the only source of drinking water supply for the rural population of the Mnasra zone. As part of the assessment of the water quality of wells in the Mnasra region, we analyzed 30 water samples taken from different wells during the year 2019-2020. The analyzes were carried out in the "ONEP" laboratories The comparison of the results obtained with the WHO standards revealed a high level of pollution compared to the recommended standards. These results made it possible to classify these waters in the bad to very bad category.
