Abstract

In order to evaluate the influence of human activities on the quality of surface waters of Guelma basin, physicochemical parameters (T°, pH, EC, TSS, DO, BOD₅ COD, PO₄^-, NH₄⁺, NO₂^- and NO₃^-) and bacteriological (TG, TC, FC and FS) of waters of Maiz and Zimba river have been followed on three sites starting from upstream to downstream during the flood and dry period. The parameters showed a significant influence of leaching from agricultural soils, urban and industrial discharges on the physico-chemical and bacteriological composition of water. The nitrogen and phosphate compounds are more important during the flood period and the high densities of bacteria were observed in dry period. The results indicate that surface waters of Maiz and Zimba river revealed a signs of degradation whatever the sampling period, since the majority of the analyzed parameters show higher levels of contamination to Algerian standards.
