This research project investigated the effect of mechanical aeration on the evolution of physical and chemical parameters within a water mass. The study examined how aeration influences key water quality indicators over time, contributing to a better understanding of water treatment and quality management processes. Project Title: Effect of Mechanical Aeration on the Evolution of Physical and Chemical Parameters on Water Mass Reference: CNEPRU Project N° J0400820120028 Role: Member of the Research Team Status: Completed

This research project focused on studying the hydrological behavior of selected watersheds located in arid and semi-arid regions of Algeria. The work aimed to better understand rainfall-runoff processes, water balance dynamics, and catchment response under the specific climatic and geomorphological constraints characteristic of these regions. The findings contribute to improved water resource management strategies in water-scarce environments, supporting applications in flood risk assessment, water availability planning, and sustainable catchment management.

This project focused on identifying, mapping, and managing water-related risk areas. The work combined Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing techniques for spatial analysis and risk-zone identification, hydraulic modeling to simulate flow behavior and flood dynamics, and dedicated flood mapping software to delineate risk-prone areas. Field surveys were conducted to validate model outputs and ground-truth the mapped risk zones.
