Abstract
Jijel region, known for its Mediterranean climate and huge reserves of water resources, has been chosen to be the location of the—currently in operation—Kissir Dam which will serve to mobilize a volume of 68 Hm3 of the water of the Oued eponym. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of the hydrogeological conditions of the site that no previous work has realized yet. To this end, the fracking of the site is investigated and the data of various tests that the companies performed is treated. Therefore, the present work is expected to identify areas that could cause water leaks and this, by lack of perfect sealing of the studied site.
