This study aims to determine groundwater dynamic and hydrochemistry for a better understanding of a hydrogeological unity of sedimentary rock to learn about chemical processes and water quality of Settat Ben Ahmed plateau aquifer. The findings reveal the chemical facies change according to the depth and geological nature of the aquifer captured. Samples of deeper point captured upstream and from Cenomano-Turonien limestones are HCO3-Ca-Mg type and account for lowest electric conductivity (EC) values. However, samples of shallow points and downstream are Cl-SO4-Ca with important EC values.
Key words: Groundwater / Piezometry / Hydrochemistry / GIS / Settat Ben Ahmed plateau aquifer (Morocco)
