In this study, we first provide a general overview of the Tafna watershed, focusing in particular on the Hennaya and Maghnia areas. These areas are recognized as citrus-growing regions with high agricultural potential, where intensive farming practices expose groundwater to pollution risks. This hypothesis has been confirmed by water analyses revealing the presence of nitrates and ammonium exceeding the standards for human consumption water quality. The use of a decision-making tool is therefore essential. With this in mind, we were able to develop a map of intrinsic vulnerability to aquifer pollution using the GOD assessment method. This method identifies three classes of vulnerability: moderate, high, and extreme. This map, along with the results of the qualitative characterization of the aquifer and the study of the various sources of pollution, could be used in regional planning and the establishment of a water quality monitoring network.

Forest Monitoring, 12
<p>The demand for comparable, long-term, high quality data on forest ecosystems' status and changes is increasing at the international and global level. Yet, sources for such data are limited and in many case it is not possible to compare data from different monitoring initiatives across space and time because of methodological differences. Apart from technical manuals, there is no comprehensive multidisciplinary, scientific, peer-reviewed reference for forest monitoring methods that can serve and support the user community. This book provides in a single reference the state-of-the-art of monitoring methods as applied at the international level. </p> <p>The book present scientific concepts and methods that form the basis of the transnational, long-term forest monitoring in Europe and looks at other initiatives at the global level. Standardized methods that have been developed over two decades in international forest monitoring projects are presented. Emphasis is put on trans-nationally harmonized methods, related data quality issues, current achievements and on remaining open questions.</p><br>
