The wetlands of northeastern Algeria are rich in flora because of their biogeographical context. The Fetzara Lake, designated Ramsar site since 2002, has been the subject of multiple plant surveys conducted between 2014 and 2019 and has revealed the existence of 226 taxa belonging to 166 genera and 58 families with the dominance of therophytes (45.13%, 102 species). From the chorological point of view, the Mediterranean type was the most dominant with 128 taxa or 56.64% of the studied flora 19 of which are endemic to Algeria. Canonical analysis represented the superimposition of the three physiognomic environments of vegetation (dry lawns, amphibian meadows and semi-permanent lake) with respect to environmental variables. The results suggest that the distribution and variation of species abundance is mainly ordered according to salinity and grazing. These degradation factors therefore merit to be divulgated to arouse awareness of the public authorities and the population in order to implement appropriate protective measures.

The assessment of quality of groundwater is an important issue in the present era of population growth, massive agricultural development, industrialization and urbanization. As the demand of groundwater increases, the quality becomes deteriorated. In this background, the study of groundwater quality in Birbhum District is very much important as this area has been characterized by diversified rock formations. For the analysis purpose, 14 parameters regarding the hydro-chemical data of groundwater, viz. P H , electrical conductivity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, fluoride, silicon dioxide, phosphate and iron, were selected. The present study has been carried out using multivariate statistical method, viz. principle component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis. In addition, different hydro-chemical facies in terms of hydro-chemical diagrams have been used to show the present status of groundwater quality in the concerned area. The result of PCA, a multivariate statistical technique, reveals that it extracts five major factors accounting for 80% of the total variance. Fluoride has been extracted as first factor. It is because the western part of the district has been characterized by highly fluoride contaminated area where basaltic terrain is present. The study also shows concentration of cation and anion that are present in the order of Na + > Ca 2+ > Mg 2+ > K + = Cl − > HCO 3− > SO 4 2−. Two clusters have been prepared: one for sample villages and another for chemical components. Sample village-wise cluster reveals that Baidyanath, Muluk, Khayrasole, Md Bazaar, Patel Nagar, etc. bear same chemical characteristics, while chemical component cluster shows the homogeneous grouping among P H , PO 4 , Sio 2 , Fe. Diagrammatic presentation of chemical parameters is also an important aspect in this study. Here application of Wilcox diagram basically depicts the nature of water for the suitability of irrigation. It shows that about 50% samples out of total sample have been characterized by excellent to good, the rest 25% samples present in good to permissible category, 20% are under the category of permissible to doubtful and 5% belong to the category of doubtful to unsuitable, while Gibbs mechanism displays 68% samples belonging to the category of rock dominance and the rest 32% in precipitation dominance category. This kind of study obviously demand an important space as groundwater quality is directly related to human health. So, for the sustainable development of human health, this type of study opens a new dimension for the betterment of the society and the concerned region.

“…This research shows that the quality of groundwater and the geochemistry of the area depends on its geology. Some researchers conducted a review of Fetzara Lake Water Hydrochemistry to assess groundwater quality for drinking or farming [9]. They found that groundwater chemistry is more dependent on the interaction of water and bedrock, but is often also affected by other factors, such as steam and ion exchange.…”

The investigation of groundwater quality is one of the most important subjects in the field of groundwater resource. The main purpose of this research is the study of groundwater samples witch have been collected from 12 and 9 pumping wells throughout 1385-1394 years. The samples have been analyzed for major cations (Na, K, Mg and Ca), major anions (Cl, SO4, HCO3 andCO3) and physical parameters such as TDS, TH, Ec and pH. In following, the hydrogeochemical graphs such as Piper diagrams used for water classification. The analysis of results showed the increasing of TDS, TH and EC upper the limit. According to Schoeller and Wilcox diagrams, the water is not suitable for drinking purposes, agricultural and industrial uses. Such results are more helpful to manage the groundwater resource.
