واقع و مستقبل الأمن المائي في الجزائر

Abstract EN

The paper aims to show the reality and future of water security in Algeria, because it is located in a geographical area with harsh climatic conditions and lack of renewable water resources such as fresh rivers and lakes, in addition to the large population growth, the rising standard of living of citizens and the increase in agricultural and industrial activity.

the future of its water security will not be achieved in a literal manner if no radical and immediate actions are taken.

this is because rainfall is the backbone of water resources.

thanks to him, the situation of the water balance changes from pessimism to optimism.

also, Algeria is in a state of absolute scarcity, with a per capita freshwater value of 500 m3 per year during the last 20 years.
