Mostaganem Water Minister on Security
The field visit by Algerian Minister of Water Resources, Lounes Boudzgaza, to Sidi Bel Abbès focused on reviewing and assessing water development projects aimed at ensuring water security and improving water distribution within the province, with an emphasis on expanding and developing treated water sources. The minister confirmed that Algeria has achieved partial water security through strategies that include diversifying resources, particularly seawater desalination plants, which currently produce 3.6 million cubic meters per day, covering 40% of the population's needs. Plans are underway to increase this coverage to 60% through the operation of new plants. He also stressed the importance of coordinating with local authorities to strengthen programs for improving water supply services and to expand reliance on treated water for agriculture. The visit will continue with inspections of strategic projects designed to enhance water security, as well as agricultural and environmental development in the region.
