Vegetation, water quality and landform were recorded... -
Assessment of surface water quality in a highly anthropised semi-arid catchment (Case of Wadi El Hatab Basin, Tunisia, North Africa)
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: W Hayouni --- University of Sfax, Tunisia N Chkir --- University of Sfax, Tunisia S Pistre --- Université Montpellier, France K Zouari --- University of Sfax, TunisiaAnthropogenic contamination of surface waters is a critical issue in urbanised catchments, especially in Mediterranean environments with scarce water resources and intermittent rivers. A combined hydro-geochemical and multivariate statistical methodology has been applied to evaluate the surface water quality of... -
Quality assessment of groundwater in a crystalline semi-urbanised environment (Lefock watershed, Cameroon)
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: Lauric Tontsa --- University of Dschang, Cameroon Emile Temgoua --- University of Dschang, Cameroon Obina Chigoziem Akakuru --- Federal University of Technology, Nigeria Hara Toukou --- University of Dschang, Cameroon Guillaume Bertrand --- Univerité de Bourgogne Franche-Comté, France Patrick Lachassagne --- Université de Montpellier, FranceThis study provides an assessment of the hydrogeochemical processes influencing shallow groundwater quality in the Lefock watershed (crystalline area, Cameroon). Seventeen groundwater samples were collected in May 2021 during the rainy season. These samples were analysed for their physical characteristics...
