The Quaternary aquifer represents the main aquifer in the study area and composed of massive cross-bedded fluvial sand with gravel and clay sediments which rests directly on the Pliocene clay and the fissured Eocene limestone. The microscopic investigation shows that about 15 % of the total surface water samples are positive for micro-organisms, such as Protozoa.
