Detection of Water Leaks in Foum EI-Gherza Dam (Algeria)
The main objective of this work was detect water leakage combining classical and nuclear techniques (isotopic and radiotracer).Classical methods concerned the follow up of physico-chemical parameters (conductivity,temperature and chemical composition).Isotopic and radiotracer techniques concerned the isotopic composition (oxygen18 and tritium) and labelling of the reservoir (Fluorescent tracers),respectively.The investigation was performed by a research team from the Algiers Nuclear Research Centrein collaboration with engineers from the National Agency for Dams.The chemical and isotopic results have shown no influence of dam water on the surrounding aquifers.Dye tracing has shown a faster water circulation through complex pathways for the right bank as compared to the left one.
