Abstract Groundwater samples from Turonian aquifer of Béchar region were evaluated as drinking and irrigation water sources. physicochemical parameters including pH, EC , TH , Na + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Cl − , SO 4 2– and NO 3 − were determined for 16 water sampling points. These characterizations show that the groundwater is fresh to brackish, slightly alkaline and the major ions are Na + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Cl − and SO 4 2– .
