Abstract

Water treatment plants are of great importance in order to provide drinking water to the population. The present work aimed to study the quality of treated water from the Beni-Haroun dam (northeastern Algeria) through the analysis of its physicochemical and bacteriological parameters in order to ensure they conform to international standards. Physicochemical and bacteriological parameters of untreated water were also analysed and then compared to the same physicochemical and bacteriological parameters obtained after applying treatment procedures in order to evaluate the efficiency of these procedures on the water quality. As a result, the physicochemical parameters of treated water Beni-Haroun dam were revealed in concordance with the established international standards. Concerning bacteriological results, despite the presence of certain microorganisms in some analysed samples, their loads remained very low and do not constitute a major health risk. Based on our analyses, treated water from Beni-Haroun Dam remains generally of good quality.

Beni Haroun大坝（阿尔及利亚东北部）处理前后水质评价

水处理厂对于向人口提供饮用水具有重要意义。本工作旨在通过分析Beni Haroun大坝（阿尔及利亚东北部）的物理化学和细菌参数来研究其处理水的质量，以确保其符合国际标准。还分析了未处理水的物理化学和细菌学参数，然后将其与应用处理程序后获得的相同物理化学和微生物学参数进行比较，以评估这些程序对水质的影响。结果表明，Beni Haroun大坝处理水的理化参数符合既定的国际标准。关于细菌学结果，尽管在一些分析样本中存在某些微生物，但其载量仍然很低，不构成重大健康风险。根据我们的分析，Beni Haroun大坝的处理水总体上质量良好。

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.
