From Dams to Groundwater.. These are the Figures of Water Resources in Algeria

Algeria relies on a multi-source water system that includes 81 dams with a filling rate of about 45%, 19 seawater desalination plants, and a massive reserve of groundwater estimated at around 80 trillion cubic meters, along with about 230 water treatment plants, as part of a national strategy aimed at enhancing water security and addressing the impacts of climate change. Ahmed Ktab, the international consulting expert and professor at the National Polytechnic School of Algeria, explained yesterday, Monday, during his intervention in the program 'Guest of the Day' on Algerian radio that dams are a fundamental pillar for securing drinking water, agriculture, and some industrial activities, emphasizing the need to continue investing in the construction of new dams.
