The primary goal of this study is to predict the current and future water quality index for irrigation (WQII) of the western Mitidja alluvial aquifer in northern Algeria. The modified WQII was used to evaluate groundwater suitability for irrigation through geographic information system (GIS) techniques. Additionally, a long short-term memory (LSTM) model was employed to calculate the WQII and map future groundwater quality, considering factors like overexploitation, anthropogenic pollution, and climate change.

In the recent years, the coastal aquifer of Jijel plain (North Algeria) located on the south of the Mediterranean Sea was utilized for cities growth and agricultural development of the region. Consequently, overexploitation and seawater intrusion were identified as major risks to the groundwater resource. In this work, a new approach integrating groundwater vulnerability method and numerical model for predicting the actual and future seawater is proposed.

After more than a year from the first confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) disease, the role of meteorological factors in the transmission of the virus still needs to be correctly determined. In this scenario of deep uncertainty, the present study aims to investigate the effects of temperature and relative humidity on daily new cases of COVID-19. For this purpose, the COVID-19's development of infection in fourteen Algerian cities characterized by different climatic conditions, during the period from April 1, 2020, to August 31, 2020, has been investigated.
