Scientific research on thermal waters is of great interest in several sectors of activity. Indeed, this research, based on various scientific disciplines, has made it possible to appreciate the phenomenon of thermalism (which until recently was considered as a supernatural phenomenon) as a natural phenomenon and to define the origin of thermal waters as well as their feeding zones and their processes for acquiring temperature and mineralization.The study area of the thermal springs is located in the west of Algeria, also called the Tell Occidental, it extends over more than 300 km, from the Ouarsenis mountain and the Chelif basin in the east to the Rif and the pre-Rif on the western border of the country.The results of chemical analyses conducted in the hydrothermal springs in the study area revealed the chemical facies: sodium bicarbonate, calcium sulphate, sodium chloride and sodium sulphate.The results of chemical analyses carried out on the various hydrothermal sources in the study area show mineralization required for the various infections.The thermal waters of western Algeria have curative specificities which are mentioned in a summary table, indicating for each hydrothermal source, the corresponding chemical facies, the type of diseases treated according to water chemistry.
