  abstract = {{T}he cross-referencing of two databases, namely the compartmentalization into groundwater bodies ({GWB}) and the quality monitoring (2830 observations including 15 physico-chemical and bacteriological parameters, on 662 collection points and over a period of 27 years) is applied to better understand the diversity of the waters of the island of {C}orsica ({F}rance) and to facilitate the surveillance and quality monitoring of the groundwater resource. {D}ata conditioning (log-transformation), dimensional reduction ({PCA}), classification ({AHC}) and then quantification of the information lost during grouping ({ANOVA}), highlight the need to sub-divide the groundwater bodies in the crystalline part of the island in order to take better account of lithological diversity and other environmental factors (slope, altitude, soil thickness, etc.). {T}he compartmentalization into 15 units, mainly based on structural geology, provides less information than the grouping into 12 units after subdivision of the crystalline region. {T}he diversity of the waters in terms of chemical and bacteriological composition is discussed, and the results encourage a review of the compartmentalization of the island's {GWB}s, with a view to more targeted monitoring based on this diversity.},
