This study aims to assess groundwater potential and identify suitable borehole locations for sustainable water supply in the Tchintabaraden and Infagagane areas. The methodology combined geological, hydrogeological, geophysical, and socio-economic approaches. Geological investigations revealed that the study area belongs to the sedimentary domain of the Iullemmeden Basin, characterized by Upper Cretaceous marine formations, Continental Intercalaire, Continental Terminal, and Quaternary deposits. Hydrogeological analysis highlighted the importance of deep confined aquifers, particularly the Upper Cretaceous marine aquifer, as the main groundwater target. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) surveys identified conductive anomalies interpreted as potential aquifer zones. At Tchintabaraden, groundwater targets were located between 320 and 400 m depth, while at Infagagane they were identified between 220 and 300 m depth. Based on the integrated interpretation, three potential borehole locations were proposed at each site. The socio-economic assessment showed that the population of Tchinta Nord is projected to increase from 2695 inhabitants in 2025 to 5781 inhabitants by 2050, resulting in a significant increase in water demand. Total water requirements, including domestic and livestock consumption, are expected to rise from 104 m³/day in 2025 to 166 m³/day in 2050, requiring a production capacity of approximately 209 m³/day at the design horizon. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating geological, hydrogeological, and geophysical methods for groundwater exploration in sedimentary basins and provide a reliable framework for developing sustainable water supply systems in semi-arid environments.
