Abstract
The spatial distribution of fracturing in hard rocks is extremely related to the structural profile and traduces the kinematic evolution. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of fracturing combined to GIS techniques seem to be primordial and efficient in geometric characterization of lineament’s network and to reconstruct the relative timing and interaction of the folding and fracturing histories. Also a detailed study of the area geology, lithology, tectonics, is primordial for any hydrogeological study. For that purpose we used a structural approach that consist in comparison between fracture sets before and after unfolding completed by aerospace data and DEM generated from topographic map. The above methodology applied in this study carried out in J. Rebia located in Northwestern of Tunisia demonstrated the heterogeneity of fracturing network and his relation with the fold growth throught time and his importance on groundwater flow.
