Abstract

Surface waters are increasingly polluted. They contain tons of pollutants from chemical discharges originating from industries, agriculture and daily operations. These pollutants pose a great danger to human health and the environment in general. Thus, this research was carried out to study the degradation of Oued Bousselam (Wilaya of Sétif, Algeria) by pollution, the latter representing the main hydrographic axis of Sétif. Surface water sampling was conducted at 18 sites selected from locations suspected of contaminants. Physico-chemical analyses have been carried out to determine the pollution which caused the degradation of this river. The results revealed a significant pollution rate from several sources, according to the hated activities near this Oued, whose degradation threatens the Wilaya of Sétif's population and its environment. It is imperative to control the water quality in this river and prevent the diversification of domestic and industrial wastewater into the water body
