Tóm tắt

Các tầng nước karst cung cấp một nguồn nước ngọt quan trọng cho các vùng bán khô hạn MENA (Trung Đông và Bắc Phi). Các điều kiện hoạt động của chúng thường cho thấy nhiều ô nhiễm. Tầng nước cacbonat Cheria (Đông Bắc Algeria) chưa từng có công cụ quản lý để xử lý ô nhiễm nguồn tài nguyên này. Việc vạch ra và bảo vệ các vùng dễ bị tổn thương là rất cần thiết để đảm bảo độ tinh khiết của nước và sức khỏe người tiêu dùng. Dựa trên phương pháp phân tích đa tiêu chí EPIK, chúng tôi nhằm mục đích trong nghiên cứu của mình để đánh giá độ dễ bị tổn thương vốn có của các tầng nước karst trước ô nhiễm trên Cao nguyên Cheria. Phương pháp này đã được thực hiện cho các vấn đề ô nhiễm ở Đông Bắc Algeria. Nó sử dụng một sơ đồ khái niệm xem xét epikarst, lớp bảo vệ, sự thẩm thấu và mạng lưới karst như các thông số. Ngoài ra, nó còn sử dụng việc nội suy dữ liệu địa vật lý để xác định các thuộc tính điều kiện. Bản đồ độ dễ bị tổn thương thu được phân loại tất cả các khu vực dễ bị tổn thương của lưu vực và các vùng bảo vệ nước ngầm. Gần 30% diện tích nghiên cứu được đánh giá là có độ dễ bị tổn thương cao đối với ô nhiễm từ các hoạt động con người, trong khi khoảng 10% có độ dễ bị tổn thương vừa phải. Những kết quả này xác nhận rằng tầng nước karst của Cao nguyên Cheria bị ô nhiễm nặng nề do thuốc trừ sâu hóa học từ hoạt động canh tác. Ngoài ra, các vùng đất nông nghiệp xung quanh, lòng đất của thành phố Cheria cũng được phát hiện là cực kỳ dễ bị tổn thương trước ô nhiễm (F < 19). Nghiên cứu của chúng tôi đã xác định ranh giới cho các vùng bảo vệ tầng nước karst và cho một quản lý tài nguyên tích hợp trong khu vực này. Nó khuyến nghị áp dụng phương pháp này cho các vấn đề tương tự.
