Abstract

Nowadays, the only source of water in the Algerian Sahara is groundwater. This source, unique and fossil, knows overexploitation and anarchic management of the wells carried out in these aquifers for needs like drinking water, irrigation, and industrial. Therefore, its management in Algeria represents a crucial problem because of its impact on the environment and human life. This paper presents an extensible, scalable, agile, and incremental decision support system allowing the management of this groundwater in Algeria based on data lake, a new concept of big data. The developed system comprises three parts: data collection, data processing, and storage in the data lake and restitution of this data in a dashboard and map**. To conclude, this system can help to provide better visibility to Algerian decision-makers allowing optimal management of this vital source with the ultimate goal of improving the life of Algerian citizens.
