Algiers, Algeria – Three coastal regions have been selected as sites for the construction of new seawater desalination plants, DZWatch has learned. The decision, aimed at bolstering the nation’s water security, was announced following a Council of Ministers meeting chaired by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Sunday.
The regions chosen for these vital infrastructure projects are Chlef, Mostaganem, and Tlemcen. These locations were selected following careful consideration of factors including proximity to the coast, existing infrastructure, and regional water needs. The desalination plants are expected to significantly augment the water supply in these areas and contribute to overall national water resources.
The initiative underscores the government’s commitment to addressing water scarcity challenges and ensuring a sustainable water supply for its citizens. Details regarding the specific capacity and timelines for the construction of these plants are expected to be released in the coming weeks. The government has emphasized the importance of utilizing advanced technologies and adhering to the highest environmental standards in the implementation of these projects.
The selection of these three wilayas marks a significant step forward in Algeria’s efforts to enhance its water infrastructure and mitigate the impact of water scarcity. This move is part of a broader national strategy to diversify water sources and improve water management practices across the country. DZWatch will continue to provide updates on this developing story.
