Abstract

The Sejnane reservoir in northeast Tunisia provides drinking and irrigation water. Long-term water quality monitoring data including precipitation, evaporation, temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, total suspended solids, major anions and cations, fluoride, BOD5, NO3 −, NO2 −, NH4 +, P tot, fecal coliform bacteria, boron and heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Cr and Cd) are reported. The appropriateness for irrigation was estimated by the SAR and Na percentage and the water quality assessed using the Canadian Water Quality Index as good to excellent, which confirmed its suitability for drinking, aquatic life and irrigation purposes.
