Abstract

Water quality is an important criterion for meeting water demand and supply. Ensuring freshwater quality that meets human and ecological needs is therefore an important aspect of integrated environmental management and sustainable development. The objective of this study is to monitor and evaluate the quality of the water distributed to the municipality of Sendjas from the Sidi Yakoub dam to the consumer using the index of water quality which includes 10 parameters. (PH, TDS, nitrate, sulphate, bicarbonate, chloride, calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium). Physico-chemical analyses were carried out on samples taken from the Sidi Yakoub dam, a reservoir which distributes water to the municipality of Sendjas called reservoir 500, and a sample from the house of one consumer directly from the tap. The results of the analyses obtained during our work show that there is a slight difference in the latter, but the quality of the physico-chemical water remains good and consumable at the level of two stations (Sidi Yakoub Dam, Reservoir 500) and Bad quality of the station which represents the municipality of Sendjas, the latter is due to the high content of chloride and the degradation of distribution networks.

使用 IQE 水质指数评估饮用水的自来水水质森贾斯市（阿尔及利亚）案例

水质是满足水资源供需的一个重要标准。因此，确保满足人类和生态需求的淡水水质是综合环境管理和可持续发展的一个重要方面。本研究的目的是利用包括 10 个参数的水质指数，监测和评估从 Sidi Yakoub 大坝向 Sendjas 市供水的水质。(PH、TDS、硝酸盐、硫酸盐、碳酸氢盐、氯化物、钙、钾、钠和镁）。理化分析的样本取自 Sidi Yakoub 大坝、一个向森贾斯市供水的水库--500 号水库，以及一个直接从水龙头取自用户家中的样本。我们工作期间获得的分析结果表明，后者略有不同，但两个站点（Sidi Yakoub 大坝和 500 水库）的物理化学水质仍然良好，可以饮用，而代表 Sendjas 市的站点水质较差，后者是由于氯化物含量高和输水管网退化造成的。

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
