“…Only 26 taxa and 6617 individuals are collected during this study. This richness remains lower than that recorded in the 12 wells dug in the alluvial groundwater of the Tafna (Belaidi et al 2011) and in the 16 wells in the Oum-El-Bouaghi region, in north-eastern Algeria (Merzoug et al 2010) and the 17 alluvial groundwater wells in the lower Tafna ( Haicha et al 2012) , but it is higher than that of the 16 wells in the Mascara region (Lakhdari 2014), and that recorded in the 26 stations in the Oum-El-Bouaghi region ( Hadjab et al 2018). This high number of taxa is probably the result of a higher sampling effor.…”

“…In our region, out of 37 stygoby species found in Algeria, only Pseudoniphargus (Pseudoniphargus djemoi) was captured in wells W1, W3, W4, W6, W8, W10, W11, W12, W13, W14 and W15. This number remains significantly higher than that recorded in the Tafna average (Belaidi et al 2011) and in the Oum El Bouaghi region (Merzoug et al 2010;Hadjab et al 2018).…”

“…In northwestern Algeria, hydrobiology programs are developing at a growing rate in the Tafna watershed (Belaidi et al 2004;Taleb et al 2008;Mahi 2007;Belaidi et al 2011Benhadji 2013and Mahi et al 2019. In recent years, underground fauna has been the subject of systematic studies to record the stygobian species of North-East Algeria (Merzoug et al 2010;Piscart et al 2013;Khaldoun et al 2016;Hadjab et al 2018 andAyati et al 2019), It is part of a global context of the stygobian fauna of Algeria and the stakes of the knowledge of the biodiversity of the underground ecosystems particularly the importance of invertebrates hosted by dug wells. So the objective of this study is to complete the results already obtained in the North-West / North-East of Algeria, by widening the study area.…”

Abstract. Hichem K, Ramzi H, Djemoi M. 2019. Biodiversity and distribution of groundwater fauna in the Oum-El-Bouaghi region (Northeast of Algeria). Biodiversitas 20: 3553-3558. This study concerns the aquatic fauna of wells and springs in north of the city of Oum El Bouaghi, in the western part of the Tamlouka plain, north-eastern Algeria. 16 wells and two springs were selected and a seasonal sampling of the aquatic fauna was carried out from September 2017 to May 2018, covering periods of high and low water. Two types of traps were used: the phreatobiological net and baited traps. The composition of fauna was found to be 26 taxa and 6617 individuals, dominated by Crustaceans 47% followed by insects and shellfish 23% for each. Only one stygoby species was collected mainly: Pseudoniphargus djemoi.

“…In Algeria, the underground fauna has been the subject of systematic studies to inventory the stygobal species of the alluvial waters of Oued Tafna in Tlemcen (Belaidi et al, 2004(Belaidi et al, , 2011Mahi 2007). The underground aquatic fauna of Northeastern Algeria has also been the subject of several contributions (Merzoug et al, 2010). Vol.…”

A preliminary inventory of macroinvertebrate communities and a regular physicochemical analysis of groundwater were carried out in the Souk Ahras region (north-eastern Algeria). It aims to study and analyze the structure and distribution of underground aquatic species, thus determining the relationship that may exist between the quality of water in wells and springs with the diversity of aquatic fauna present in the habitats. Through 2018, 14 stations (10 wells and 4 springs) were monitored on a monthly basis, while water and aquatic fauna samples were taken. A principal component analysis (PCA) of the physicochemical quality parameters was carried out from the average values of each parameter. It has been observed that the waters are highly mineralized, due to the high values of total hardness, salinity, and sulfate levels in certain stations. The sources of contamination are mainly due to the raw wastewater circulating in the small canals. Also “seguias” are used either to evacuate wastewater or for irrigation, which seeps down to the water table. The collected aquatic fauna in all the 14 stations is diversified and contains 29 families which correspond to 4 taxa.

Water is essential to the life of every living organism. The water used by the consumer must be safe for the preservation of his health. The objective of this study was to assess the quality of well water used in households in the city of Korhogo. To do this, water samples were taken from the wells of different households. Parameters such as pH, temperature, electrical conductivity and total dissolved solids were measured at the sampling sites. Nitrates and ammonium were determined by spectrophotometric methods using sodium salicylate and indophenol blue, respectively. The membrane filtration technique has been used for the enumeration of total coliforms, Escherichia coli, fecal enterococci, sulfite-reducing anaerobic bacteria, yeasts and moulds. The agar incorporation method was used for the enumeration of mesophilic aerobic germs. The non-conformity relative to pH was 73%. All wells were contaminated with nitrates and ammonium. Non-compliance rates of 80% and 53% were obtained for nitrates and ammonium respectively. Non-compliance with mesophilic aerobic germs, total coliforms, E. coli and fecal enterococci was 100% for each indicator. No spore of sulphite-reducing clostridia has been identified. Contamination rates of 80% (mould) and 67% (yeast) were recorded. The moulds isolated from the various water samples belong to the genus Aspergillus. The quality of well water in households is not suitable for human consumption. These waters require treatment or household residents must switch to other safe sources of drinking water.
