Don’t they say
that Earth is the water planet? Three quarters of its surface are covered
in water.
lsn’t it therefore accidental to count today over 46 000 big dams in the World?
Especially when you
know that only 3% of the water present on the surface of Earth is
fresh water. A vital element for human development; water is today at the heart of all
,
stakes.

The upheavals that our planet witnesses at the beginning of this XXI century with
,
Earth’s global warming that led to an average
increase of O.7°C is calling out to us.
‘Worse than “that, there are forecasts of further increase in temperatures varying
between 1.4.« and 5.8°C, partly due to green house gas
emissions and the decrease in
pluviometry, which is already being noted in many
areas
of the World and which
nowadays
make that one human being out of ve does not have access to drinking
water. Many countries and millions of people are unfortunately paying clearly for this.
With less than 600 cubic meters per year and per inhabitànt, Algeria is thus seriously
affected by these upheavals as it is ranked in the Category of poor countries in terms of
water resources.
The economic and social development that the country‘is undergoing, the progress
of
its demography and the climate context that characterizes it aggravate this water—stress
Situation
‘
'
In order
to meet
challenge, the public authorities have chosen a couragèous
and volunteering policy
that aims to increase and diversify conVentional and non
conventional water mobilization capacities, reduce populations’ drinking water supply
_
decit, generalize waste water treatment and reuse, extend irrigated
and
improve management indices.
