Abstract


Our study is the follow up and spatial analysis of a number of physico-chemical parameters of water wells located at different distances from the city dump Kenitra. The absence of a source of drinking water in the region pushes the population to feed by groundwater sinks. The results show that the majority of the analysed parameters exceed drinking water standards for the discharge of three wells (P1, P2, P3) at said source of water, it is found that the pH (7.8) EC (3.3ms/cm), Ca+ Mg (7.6ms/cm), Ca2+ (186.4mg/L) Mg2 + (80.6 mg/l) , Na+ (43.7 mg/l), K+ (6.6 mg/l) NH4+ (2.7mg/l), Cl (94.5 mg/l), HCO3(287.7mg /l), CO3 (797.5 mg / l), SO4 (26.0 mg / l).
Far exceed the WHO drinking water standards and water standards and Moroccan waters twenty wells in the area Mnasra physicochemical results Ph (7.4) EC (0.8ms/cm), Ca Mg+(3.1ms/cm), Ca2+(106.8mg/l), Mg2+ (11.3 mg/l), Na+(68.5 mg / l), K+(7.4 mg/l) NH4+ (2 mg/l), Cl (94.5mg/l), HCO3(236.4 mg/l), CO3(95.8 mg/l), SO4(86.3 mg/l), Thus, the diagnosis revealed the presence of a very important pollution by leachate wells discharge is compared with the well Mnasra region. As well as the phenomenon of the increase of the water can be generated by processes of erosion, leaching and infiltration of land in the region (phosphate layers, marl and limestone intercalated) caused by the acidity due this pollution.

Author Keywords: Physical, chemical, water from underground wells, infiltration, leaching, pollution, discharge.
