Abstract
The superficial aquifer of Ain Djacer is located within the alluvial deposits of Mio-Plio-Quaternary clays, underlain by a substratum of marls and gypsum. The Ain Djacer plain is bowl-shaped due to a syncline, causing convergent water flow towards the center. The groundwater is characterized by high sodium chloride content, correlating with the local geology. Salinity is predominantly controlled by chlorides, sulfates, and sodium. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis reveals three distinct water groups, where salinity increases along the flow direction: group 1 > group 2 > group 3. This pattern is attributed to ion exchange processes and the influence of saline deposits. The study highlights the significance of statistical analysis in understanding hydrochemical processes, identifying evaporation mineral dissolution as a key factor affecting groundwater quality.
