Assessment of the quality of groundwater in the Baya watershed in eastern Cote d'Ivoire is important to ensure sustainable and safe use for human consumption. The research objective is to map the areas susceptible to pollution by the PaPRI method. This multi-criteria analysis integrated into the GIS allowed to identify areas susceptible to pollution of the basin with a 95% confidence level.The Baya watershed has a high predisposition to pollution with a cumulative of 57% of the strong and very strong vulnerabilities classes.The projection of water points on the pollution susceptibility map gave a coincidence rate of 81.13%. This data is an important source of essential information in that it allows a clear picture to be made of the areas sensitive to pollution with a view to taking the necessary protective measures
