Oran’s El-Maqtaa seawater desalination plant highlights Algeria’s commitment to water sovereignty and technological progress
The article highlights the seawater desalination plant in El-Maqtaa, located east of Oran, which is among the largest in Africa. It focuses on Algeria's efforts to enhance water sovereignty by developing a local industry for critical spare parts, such as turbine impellers used in pumps, which were previously imported and caused delays in maintenance. The plant has succeeded in manufacturing four parts locally in 2024, improving its efficiency and relying on national expertise, while also strengthening collaborations with universities. Additionally, it notes an increase in water production from 120,000 cubic meters per day five years ago to over 440,000 cubic meters currently, in order to meet the needs of millions of residents and ensure national water security.
