	abstract = {The deterioration of the physico-chemical quality of surface waters in the Algerian Northeast is caused by several factors. Our study aims to fill the knowledge gap on the control of hydro-chemical evolution of surface waters in wetlands. The main focus is on major elements in surface waters of the Skikda region in northeastern Algeria. To address this issue, we received 45 samples during the 09 campaigns conducted during the period of low and high water of the year 2015-2016, distributed over five points, namely the tributary Oued Khemakhem, Oued Bouadjeb, Oued Safsaf, reservoir of the Zerdazas dam and the downstream of the Zerdazas dam. First, we studied the variation of physical elements such as pH and EC. Then, using PCA and FA, we characterized the physicochemical properties of the water to demonstrate the relationship between\&nbsp;the elements and the factors controlling the distribution of the major elements and the heavy metals Pb2+, Fe2+ and Sr2+. The specific formula of the dominance of the different concentrations in the surface waters of the study area followed the sequence: Ca-Mg-Na-K and Cl-SO4-HCO3 from which a predominant specific facies emerges on 67\% of the samples, is of the chloride and sulfate-calco Magnesian facies.},
