Assessment of physico-chemical quality of water discharges along the Mostaganemois coastline

Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 1

Abstract

The city of Mostaganem is particularly affected by some problem of pollution caused by human activities (urban, industrial and agricultural discharges) due to its geographical location, its growing population and its continued industrial development. Consequently, the study focuses on the assessment of the environmental quality of water discharges evacuated along Mostaganem coastline by determining the physico-chemical parameters of wastewater in order to establish a diagnosis of the current area state. The results show an increase in level of suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand and a decrease of dissolved oxygen level. Regarding nitrogen compounds, it notices that nitrogen is found mainly in the ammonium form. Furthermore, the pollution degree differs from site to site depending on the pollution source. The continuing deterioration of the quality of these waters certainly lead to the loss of this natural heritage if protective measures are not taken.
