Abstract
ABSTRACT
Our study has the general objective to understand the impact of the valuation of treated water
on earthworm abundance and total porosity of the soil and the effect of the interaction
between these two physical-biological components of the hydrological functioning of soils. It
was carried out on the meadows soils of the valley of Wadi Bousselam.
Although the treated water has high organic and particulate filler, it improved the earthworm
abundance, total porosity and hydraulic conductivity of the soil.
