6. Site plan analysis

Site plan analysis

 to realize my plan I had to choose a place where all the criterias needed are available ( Seaview, countryside, nature in general), I decided to choose Jijel, which is a town and roadstead port, northeastern Algeria, on the Mediterranean seacoast.

Algeria is known by a wide range of historical influences that became a unique interaction between former civilizations. 

The Numidians’ age:

 the presence of the Phoenicians and Carthaginians,

 the antiquity of the Romans and Byzantines, and Spanish too:

Geology:

- A l g e r i a -

Algeria is divided into two major tectonic units, separated by the South Atlas fault:

- the Northern (Atlas) domain, which has been strongly affected by Alpine tectonics.

 - the Southern (Saharan) domain, which is relatively stable and where the impact of tectonics is less pronounced

soil typology

The studied soil was extracted from a potential construction site in the new city of Herraten, nearby Jijel town in northern Algeria. The studied area and generally Jjjel region are characterized by a humid climate, significant precipitation, and an important hydrographic network. The geological studies indicate that the studied area is located in the Jijel basin. 

vegetation

In Algeria, Jijel, Jijel, you can find Common fig, Olive, Mastic tree, Wine grape, Common coleus, and more! There are 20 types of plants in total. Be sure to look out for these common plants when you’re walking on the streets, in parks, or public gardens.

hydrography

There are 17 major watersheds in Algeria. Low rainfall means that the majority of rivers in the mountainous and desert regions of Algeria are ephemeral, flowing only after large rainfall events. Only the rivers in the northern coastal region are perennial, flowing all year round. In the south, wadis (ephemeral rivers) drain to closed internal sinks - chotts or sebhkas - which are subject to high evaporation rates.

The Chelif (or Cheliff) River is the longest river in Algeria, flowing for 700 km from its source in the Saharan Atlas to its discharge point in the Mediterranean Sea.

The Agence Nationale des Ressources Hydrauliques (ANRH) is responsible for river-flow gauging in Algeria. ANRH maintains a network of 162 hydrometric stations, almost exclusively in the north of the country, and collects hydrometric data on average monthly flow rates or average monthly inflows to hydrological stations. These data are typically available for periods of between 25 and 30 years
