Abstract

Follow the physicochemical quality of treated water from the city of Nouakchott, capital of Mauritania, which plays a very important role as the main source of drinking water in the Nouakchott area, we made a sample every two months Sites: Water treated with the release of the release of the release of the release of the release of the release of the release of the release of the release of the release of the release of the processing station and consumer castle in Nouakchott between 08/2018 and 09/2019. The results of the analysis of the physicochemical parameters of treated water in the city of Nouakchott presented in this work have shown that the pH is close to neutrality (7.85), the average conductivity is 130 µs/cm. Average hardness values, calcium ions, magnesium, chloride, sulfate, sodium and potassium are 5.1 ° F, 14 mg/l, 3.1 mg/l, 22.1 mg/l, 7 mg/L and 2 mg/L. Regarding nitrogen compounds, content in nitrates, nitrite and ammonium is 0.60 mg/l, 0.005 mg/l and 0.04 mg respectively respectively/L, these values are much lower values to the standard of drinking water. Regarding turbidity, total chlorine, chlorine chlorine and aluminum are very low and are respectively 2.34 NTU, 0.50 mg/l, 0.45 mg/l and 0.06 mg/L. The values of physicochemical parameters show that surface water supplying the city of Nouakchott are classified as excellent.
