According to Amajor N–S structure, the M’zab dorsal, this aquifer is divided into two sub-basins (occidental and oriental)[1-13]. Sevral geological studies were performed on the aquifer by many authors [12]. These studies show that the Continental Intercalary is characterized by sandy and argilo-sandy formations dating the Neocomien, Barremien, Aptien, and of the Albien (Fig.2). Whearas, faults of Amguid-Albiod are the origin of vertical exchanges between this aquifer and the Complex Terminal[5]. From top to bottom, « CI » aquifer begins with Albien formation, while its substrtum is represented by the Hercynian unconformity under Tademaït and the tinhert plates (Fig.2).

3. Material, objective and methods 3.1. Sampling This study is summary of several data obtained on The Continental Intercalary (CI) aquifer many authors:ANRHDRS (2012); Edmunds (2003); Nezli (2009)and it aims to use all data to understand the chemical behavior of ground water. We use in this study 488 representative data representing major elements of water samples from boreholes (Fig.3). 3.2. Methods used Statistical methods were used in this study, in order to analyze massive data that have. The statistical processing is carried out in two ways: • Monovariate data analysis: It based on the determination of the central position statistics (mode, median, mean) and distribution (variance, standard deviation) and variation ratio of chemical elements (variables). • Bivariate data analysis: It focused on the correlation ratio and the test of their significance. This ratio is ranging from -1 to +1 • Multivariate data analysis (variables ≥ 2): it represented by two methods: - Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is an exploratory multivariate statistical technique. It used to simplify complex data sets [2-3-8]. Given (m) observations on n variables, the main target of PCA analysis is toreduce the dimensionality of the data matrix by finding r new variables, where r is less than n. Termed principal components, these r new variables together account for as much of the variance in the original n variables. Each principal component is a linear combination of the original variables, and so it is often possible to attribute meaning to what the components represent as well as the analysis of other types of expression data [7-6]. - Ascending Hierarchical Classification (AHC): This method consists of defining a class aggregation criterion that can be defined by measuring (1) the degree of resemblance (2) dissimilarity which can exist between samples [11]. This method consists to classify "p" variables and "n" observations by the construction of adistances matrix between variables and observations and calculating the distances between separated groups of variables or observations. Groups whose distance is the lowest meet together in a couple (according to this criterion) and the process is repeated until a complete regrouping of classes [4]. A dendrogram or classification can represent the Ascending Hierarchical Classification (AHC).

4.2. Correlations Correlation matrix has been performed (Table. 2). This table presents correlation ratio between different major elements. Indeed, the highest correlation ratio (r = 0.91) is recorded between Cl- and Na+ highlighting the chloride sodium occurrence in water (NaCl). The presence of sulfated ions in water is mainly related to the dissolution of gypsums formation (r Ca2+/SO 4 2- = 0.69). Table 2.

3.3. Principal component analysis (PCA) Principal component analysis (PCA) applied on the major elements, aims to identify associations of major elements in “CI” groundwater (Fig. 4). The factorial axis (F1) shows a variance of 46.98% which represents the mineralization axis. These mineralization associations are positively correlated with (F1) such as: CPA indicates the common origin of Na+and Cl- (Halite). The Ca2+and SO42- correlation is a proxy for gypsum. We denote that Mg2+is correlated higher with SO42-than with carbonates (Ca2+) suggesting the Mg2+origin rather from evaporates and not from carbonates. Bicarbonates HCO3- appear inert and are distanced from the other elements, but represent also the mineralization origin of water. Silica SiO2is in opposition of potassium K+ which indicates that last is originates from silicates hydrolysis.

3.4. Hierarchical classification analysis CAH Hierarchical classification analysis (CAH) performed on major elements show the followings families: • The first-family represents the evaporitic pole (Na+, Cl- and SO 4 2-) It shows high concentrations of chlorides, sulfates and sodium corresponding to gypsum (CaSO 4 .2H 2 O) and the halite (NaCl); • The second-family represents silicates (SiO 2 and K+); • The Third family is characterized by the presence of carbonates pole (Ca2+, Mg2+ and HCO 3 -) corresponding to the facies of limestone (CaCO 3 ) and dolomites (CaMg (CO 3 ) 2 ). CAH analysis indicates the evaporitic formation is the main origin of groundwater mineralization giving water chloride-sodium facies. However, high water temperatures, especially in the eastern part of the basin suggest probably the influence of silicate hydrolysis on water mineralization.In other word, CAH dendrogram indicates the evaporate contribution into water mineralization that confirms CPA also. Carbonates are presented together indicating the calcite and dolomites presence while evaporates are principally in abundance. The K+ and SiO2pole confirms the silicate contribution by hydrolysis and that explains the K+ enrichment in water supported by temperature Dendrogramme de 8 Variables Méth. de Ward Dist.

Conclusion

This study was carried out on ground water of the “Continental Intercalary” (CI) in order to characterize their chemical behavior and the origin of mineralization. Statistical methods were used to analyze chemical data such as: (1) Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and (2)Ascending Hierarchical Classification (AHC).These statistical treatments were performed on 488 water samples covering a vast area of the Algerian Sahara. Obtained results highlight a significant heterogeneity of the origin of the mineralization acquired. The major control of this mineralization is ensured by the evaporate formations that provide the chloride facies of water. This study suggests probably the effect of temperature helping the hydrolysis of silicates formation especially in the eastern part of the basin. These results can be used to ensure a selective and rational exploitation of the water.
