Abstract
The main objective of this work is to study the physicochemical quality of groundwater in the
western area of Béjaia, belonging to the Oued Soummam sub-watershed. For this purpose, we
used measurements and physicochemical analyzes of groundwater in this region, carried out by
the Algerian Water Laboratory involving 18 drillings.
The use of chemical diagrams (Schöeller-Berkaloff and Piper) and the application of statistical
analyzes by different methods, such as, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Hierarchical
Ascending Classification (HAC) and Factor Analysis of Correspondences (FAC) using the
XLSTAT software (2014) showed that the calcium and magnesium chloride-sulphate, and the
sodium-potassium chloride or sodium sulfate are the most dominant facies due to the geological
and hydrogeological nature of the study area
