WATER TO MAKE THE SAHARA FLOURISH Algerian Pipeline Project Designed to Support Among Other Things, Future Energy Projects

摘要

The Algerian government has been well aware of the need for development of water systems in its communities and over the years has implemented extensive water supply programs. However, the water ministry of Algeria is now extending water supply programs into the deep Sahara Desert. The establishment of the ministry ADE, L'Algerienne des Eaux, has launched an ambitious project, a potable water supply to Tamanrasset from In Salah. Construction of the pipeline is already under way and the project has been given considerable priority in Algeria. Initially, water from this project will be supplied to 100,000 inhabitants of Tamanrasset, but eventually half a million inhabitants may get water from this pipeline.
