Irrigation Perimeters and Water Transfer in Setif Towards Sustainable Water Resources Management in the Face of Climate Change
Main Article Content
Abstract
Climate change is manifesting globally, with North African nations, including Algeria, facing severe water scarcity. This scarcity is exacerbated by declining rainfall and rising temperatures, leading to increased evaporation and a significant deficit in water resources for both drinking and agricultural irrigation. Consequently, Algeria's agricultural productivity and food security are under threat. To address these challenges and ensure sustainable development, Algeria has adopted a strategic approach centered on the inter-basin transfer of dam water. This policy aims to mitigate the uneven distribution of rainfall and renewable surface and groundwater resources across the country, particularly between the northern, coastal, inland, eastern, and western regions. The primary objective is to balance water availability and alleviate the acute water shortages experienced by urban and semi-arid populations.
