In southern Tunisia, the lack of permanent surface water, associated with drought conditions, leads to an endless abstraction from limited low renewable multi-layered aquifer system Système Aquifère du Sahara Septentrional containing two principal aquifers, complex terminal and Continental Intercalaire (CI) systems. The deepest embodies low-enthalpy thermal resources Southern Tunisia. thermo-mineral manifestations conductively heated waters reveal complexity geotectonic history region create...
The expansion of irrigated agriculture and the overexploitation groundwater aquifers are leading to saltwater intrusion, severe deterioration quality soil subsidence at arid areas. geochemical processes taking place along an 800 km flow line in non-carbonate Continental Intercalaire aquifer (CI) North Africa described using chemical (major trace element) isotopic indicators. is hydraulically continuous from Atlas Mountains Algeria Chotts Tunisia evidence corroborates this. CI one largest...
Abstract One of the major challenges in assessing groundwater vulnerability to pollution is inadequate factors number and weight. Therefore, carefully improve assessment vulnerability, a model independent weight assignment errors was used. Moreover, specific index (SVI) Sidi Bouzid North's assessed this study. Intrinsic (IVI) determined first step by arithmetic mean calculation overlay method (IOM) based on D: Depth aquifer; P: annual average Precipitation; L: Lithology vadose zone S:...
Groundwater contamination in the Mediterranean Basin is a severe problem that has significant impact on environmental ecosystems and human health. The unconventional uranium potentially toxic elements (PTEs) of phosphate rocks are principal contaminants mining industry Tunisia. Phosphogypsum (PG) results from valorization to fertilizers phosphoric acid. PG stocks can be used cement production, brick manufacturing, soil amendments desertic land, resolved by using nanomaterial adsorbents. In...
The rising increase in groundwater abstraction to serve the industrial sector and fulfill agricultural domestic needs, coupled with severe drought periods during past decades, leads a growing deficit of water. drawdown piezometric levels progressing degradation water quality are main consequences such intensive exploitation. In this connection, present study emphasizes major effects resource overexploitation Southern Tunisia, it evaluates its impacts on ancient mkayel "Foggara" system....
Abstract Water resource overuse is a considerable challenge in areas with diverse activities and mixed climate. An area deteriorated water quality (salinity higher than 5 g/L), typical of the transboundary Algero‐Tunisian Tebessa‐Gafsa Basin North Africa, was selected to investigate spatial distribution groundwater recharge resources management. Several data including soil type, hydrogeologic characteristics, geomorphologic parameters, climatic settings were used. Seasonal early...
