Groundwater in Sfax City (Tunisia) has been known since the beginning of the century for its deterioration in quality, as
a result of wastewater recharge into the aquifer. An average value of 12 × 106 m3 of untreated wastewater reaches the groundwater aquifer each year. This would result not only in a chemical and biological
contamination of the groundwater, but also in an increase of the aquifer piezometric level. Quantitative impacts were evaluated
by examining the groundwater piezometric level at 57 surface wells and piezometers. The survey showed that, during the last
two decades, the groundwater level was ever increasing in the urban area with values reaching 7 m in part; and decreasing
in Sidi Abid (agricultural area) with values exceeding −3 m. Groundwater samples for chemical and microbial analysis were
collected from 41 wells spread throughout the study area. Results showed significantly elevated levels of sodium, chlorides,
nitrates and coliform bacteria all over the urban area. High levels (NO3: 56–254 mg/l; Na >1,500 mg/l; Coliforms >30/100 ml) can be related to more densely populated areas with a higher density
of pit latrine and recharge wells. Alternatively results showed a very variable chemical composition of groundwater, e.g.
electrical conductivity ranges from 4,040 to19,620 μs/cm and the dry residual varies between 1.4 and 14 g/l with concentrations
increasing downstream. Furthermore a softening of groundwater in Set Ezzit (highly populated sector) was observed. 相似文献
