Opportunities And Challenges For Wastewater Reuse In Algeria

Authors : Aroua-berkat Sadjia . Aroua Najet .

Abstract

The global water stress context urgently calls for the promotion of nonconventional water resources, including purified wastewater, to save the maximum volume of conventional water resources, as stated in Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean water and sanitation). For instance, the objective of this paper is to assess the opportunities and barriers to implementing wastewater reuse in Algeria based on a specific literature review. The results show that some pilot projects are already underway while various wastewater treatment processes are being tested throughout the country. However, additional driver actions could be considered to optimize/generalize wastewater reuse at different territorial planning and/or development scales.
