The study of the water quality in the alluvial aquifer of Tebessa-Morsott basinwas carried out to perform a preliminary assessmentof the hydrochemical quality of same groundwater samples and their suitability for irrigation uses. The high salinity coupledwith groundwater level decline pose serious problems for current irrigation and domestic water supplies as well as for future exploitation. The statistical treatment of hydrochemical data by principal component analysis revealed two components related to salinity and pollution.The US salinity diagram illustrates that most of the groundwater samples fall in C3S1-C4S1 quality with high salinity hazard and low sodium hazard.
