This work aims to identify the potential groundwater recharge zones in the Mitidja plain (north Algeria) using the multi-criteria approach. The analysis was based on the use of a geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing to establish eight thematic maps, weighted, categorized and inserted, that allowed us to establish the potential zones’ map for groundwater recharge. Three potential groundwater recharge classes were defined corresponding, respectively, to low (26%), moderate (47%) and high (27%). The best groundwater potential zones are situated in the piedmont of the Blidean Atlas (the south of the study area), precisely, upstream near to wadis (wadi El Harrach, wadi Djemaa, wadi Mazafran) and the western aquifer limit, where the hydrogeological units are formed by the alluvium formation which is characterized by high hydraulic conductivity, high water flow, low slope, low drainage, low quantity transported sediments and good water quality. The obtained results, in this work, describe the groundwater recharge potential areas and supply information for a suitable mapping and the management of aquifer resources in the study area.

这项工作旨在使用多准则方法确定Mitidja平原（阿尔及利亚北部）潜在的地下水补给区。该分析是基于使用地理信息系统（GIS）和遥感技术建立的八幅专题地图（经过加权，分类和插入）的，这些地图使我们能够建立地下水补给的潜在区域地图。定义了三种潜在的地下水补给类别，分别对应于低（26％），中（47％）和高（27％）。最佳的地下水潜力区位于Blidean Atlas的山麓地区（研究区域的南部），正好位于Wadis（wadi El Harrach，wadi Djemaa，wadi Mazafran）和西含水层界限的上游，水文地质单元是由冲积层形成的，该冲积层的特点是水力传导率高，水流量大，坡度低，排水量低，输送的沉积物量少，水质好。在这项工作中，获得的结果描述了地下水补给潜力区域，并为研究区域的合适测绘和含水层资源管理提供了信息。
