Algiers – President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has directed the immediate commencement of two significant projects aimed at bolstering drinking water supplies to the southern provinces of Tindouf and Tamanrasset. The announcement, made Tuesday in Algiers, underscores the government’s commitment to addressing water security challenges in the region.
The presidential directive reflects a broader strategy to enhance infrastructure and improve living conditions in southern Algeria. President Tebboune emphasized the substantial developmental progress already achieved in the south, particularly in key sectors such as mining, solar energy, and railway transportation.
The projects are expected to significantly improve access to potable water for residents of Tindouf and Tamanrasset. Details regarding the specific technologies and timelines for completion are expected to be released in the coming days. However, government officials have indicated that the projects will incorporate sustainable water management practices to ensure long-term viability.
This initiative aligns with the government’s ongoing efforts to diversify the Algerian economy and reduce its reliance on hydrocarbons. By investing in strategic sectors such as renewable energy and water resources, the government aims to create new opportunities for economic growth and job creation in the south.
The announcement has been welcomed by local communities in Tindouf and Tamanrasset, who have long faced challenges related to water scarcity. These projects represent a crucial step towards ensuring a more sustainable and prosperous future for the region.
