This study aims to improve the knowledge of the structure of Bou-Houria basin through analysis and re-interpretation of available gravimetric data. A residual anomaly and first vertical derivative maps were calculated from the Bouguer anomaly, which is affected by a strong regional gradient. The computed map provides information on the variation of density in the basement rock, and provide a better understanding of the structural elements in the study area and to highlight new faults that are generally concealed by the Quaternary deposits. The results let to the improvement of the structural map of the study area, which could form the basis to guide future groundwater exploration in the basin.
