Analytical review of the framework of the reuse of treated wastewater for agriculture under Algeria’s 2030 water resources strategy

Abstract

ABSTRACT Wastewater is produced by human activity and has a direct impact on the natural environment in which it is discharged, whether treated or not. Responsible management of increasing volumes of wastewater represents a real health and environmental challenge for all involved actors (local authorities, operators, etc.), worldwide.

In the light of this global view, theaim of this paper is to give an analytical review the status of wastewater treatment in Algeria as a main unconventional water resources for irrigating agricultural crops, as well as to reviewing the prospects for investment in the reuse of treated wastewater in irrigation under the Algeria’s water resources strategy by2030.
