Abstract

This research paper aims to address the issue of water resources in Algeria by assessing the current situation and proposing practical solutions to confront these challenges. Algeria has been experiencing various problems for several years, such as climate change manifested in drought caused by the lack of rainfall, poor exploitation of this vital resource, and population growth, which has logically exacerbated the crisis due to the increasing demand for water to meet domestic, industrial, and agricultural needs. The study concludes with a set of solutions to mitigate the worsening of these diverse issues, including institutional solutions, technical solutions, economic solutions, social solutions, and financial solutions.
