Evaluation of the Physicochemical Quality of Springs Water in the El Hajeb Area, Morocco

Groundwater plays an important role in the socio-economic development for all countries of the world. They thus ensure safe drinking water for rural and urban populations. However, they are sometimes exposed to various forms of pollution: agricultural, industrial and domestic. So the supervision and the quality control are of paramount interest in the fight against certain waterborne diseases because water intended for human consumption must not contain pathogenic organisms or harmful chemicals; because water contaminated with microorganisms is causing epidemics. In addition, nitrate pollution of drinking water can cause methemoglobinemia to infants and carcinogenic diseases to adults. This work is structured in the same objective, which is the evaluation of the physicochemical quality of water sources in the region of El Hajeb, which are used in the supply of drinking water for a large population of area.
