“…Similarly, the high concentration of BOD exceeded the quality standards. A high BOD concentration in water indicates a high level of water pollution originating from organic materials (Saadali et al, 2020). The organic matter content in water can originate from domestic waste due to human activities, as well as from The last sub-catchment, point 10, was comprised of plantations (4.44%) and industries (3.11%).…”

Water has recently become a final disposal site for wastewater. Land use has evolved with the global population growth and is generally transformed into settlements and industrial areas. These land use changes could potentially increase wastewater generation from both domestic and non-domestic activities. The Garang watershed, one of the watersheds in Central Java, flows through the Semarang Regency, Kendal Regency, and Semarang City. This study analyzed the water quality conditions in the Garang watershed and designed a real-time water quality monitoring system. The methods used in this study included SWMM modeling, the national sanitation foundation water quality index (NSF-WQI), and the internet of things. Samples were collected from 10 points in the Garang Watershed, with a sampling frequency of five times at each point. The results of the data analysis demonstrated that the differences in land use resulted in varying water parameter levels. The results of the SWMM modeling demonstrated an acceptable model value (NOF between 0 and 1). On the other hand, the WQI analysis results demonstrated that the quality status at the Garang watershed is "medium" at nearly all location points. The designed real-time water quality sensor tool successfully transmitted water quality data online and in real-time, particularly for temperature, pH, turbidity, and DO. This water quality monitoring system offers a variable percentage error value, with the pH sensor ranging between 0.16% and 9.86% and the temperature sensor ranging between 0.64% and 1.72%.

“…This index (OPI) (Leclercq and Vandevenne 1987) has been widely used by several authors to assess the degree of organic pollution of waters of lakes, rivers and even groundwater (Fawzi et al 2001;Dolisy and Dohet 2003;Torrisi et al 2006;Bertrand et al 2015;Hounsinou et al 2015;Sarkar and Islam 2020;Saadali et al 2020;Abessolo et al 2021;Hachi et al 2022;Giao et al 2022;Keumean et al 2022).…”

The present study aims to assess the impact of human activities on the water quality of Hammam Boughrara Dam, while highlighting the importance of seasonal variations of the organic pollution indicator parameters. The COD/BOD5 Ratio (CBR) values, over the period mentioned above, revealed the dominance of two categories, namely Moderately Biodegradable Effluent (MBE) and Difficult to Biodegrade Effluents (DBE) or Non-Biodegradable Effluents (NBE), with significant seasonal variations. The MBE category showed a maximum frequency in autumn (29 occurrences) and a minimum frequency in spring (20 occurrences), while the DBE or NBE category had a maximum frequency of 26 during winter and a minimum frequency of 21 during the autumn season. The analysis of Organic Pollution Index (OPI) revealed that the water of the dam under study is strongly impacted by organic pollution, with significant seasonal variations. This is confirmed by the predominance of the Organic Pollution (OP) category, with a maximum frequency in autumn and summer seasons (25 occurrences) and minimum in spring (21 occurrences), as well as by the Very Strong Organic Pollution (VSOP) category, with a maximum frequency in winter (23 occurrences) and minimum in summer (11 occurrences). The box-plot graphs showed positive skew, while others exhibited a negative one, with significant seasonal variations in the InterQuartile Range (IQR). It should also be mentioned that the correlation of the Organic Pollution Index (OPI) with the concentrations of NH₄⁺ and PO₄³⁻ ions is higher than that of the OPI with BOD5 and NO₂⁻. However, it must be recognized that the correlation between the OPI and BOD5 as well as NO₂⁻ remains significant at 1% threshold level. Moreover, the correlation coefficients showed significant seasonal variations. It is worth noting that the OPI showed a positive correlation with the dam’s water volume, during all four seasons, with correlation coefficients varying significantly for each season. On the other hand, the OPI exhibited negative correlation with COD, TDS and \({NO}_{3}^{-}\) concentrations in some seasons. In addition, positive correlations were observed between the concentrations of \({NH}_{4}^{+}\)and \({PO}_{4}^{3-}\) ions, as well as between the concentrations of \({NH}_{4}^{+}\) and \({NO}_{2}^{-}\) ions, throughout the four seasons.

“…These results confirm that the Mila region is characterized by an impermeable soil (weak infiltrations sometimes none), a heavy precipitation from October to May, and superficial flows. Also, it contains two aquifer systems (the first is deep and the second is superficial) (Saadali et al, 2020); their relationship is not excluded through the existing fault network and the deep aquifer system can supply the superficial one.…”

Feasibility study for the southern extension of Mila town (northeast of Algeria) for urbanization purposes: a geotechnical and hydrogeophysical approach

The population of Mila is increasing and local authorities are looking for new lands to develop the town and provide housing. However, the soil of these lands is unstable and requires detailed studies to serve as a foundation. This work presents the geotechnical and the geophysical characteristics of the Marechau soils, which forms the southeast extension of the Mila town. To provide an idea about the soil condition, to choose the type of adequate constructions and to make decision for building it, we adopted a geotechnical approach, where we analysed the soils by carrying out core drilling tests, dynamic penetration tests and the laboratory tests. We also, employed the geophysical approach in determining the electrical resistivity so as to map the depth of bedrock roof. Furthermore, we conducted a comprehensive hydrogeological study, monitoring precipitation and the piezometric level of the aquifer over a period of 200 days, and determined the flow direction. The core drilling test results indicate a clayey soil with limestone blocks. The dynamic penetration test show two categories of soil. The laboratory tests show that the materials analysed are very plastic, over-consolidated and medium to very compressible. They have a medium to high swelling potential and medium amount of aggressiveness to concrete. Besides, the tomography results also showed a single layer land (clay) with massive rocks embedded in it. The piezometric monitoring reveals the presence of two aquifer systems. The first is superficial and the second is deep. They don’t recharge directly after the rain falls and the groundwater flows in the direction of the slope. All the results indicate that solutions must be found for soil movements in the area under study before urbanization takes place. The combination of these results with the location, land morphology, tectonic activity, and seismotectonic aspects suggest that the area presents a high risk, and its urbanization requires rigorous and mandatory precautionary measures.
