Mobilisation des ressources en eau : Cas de la ville d’Ain-Temouchent.

Abstract

The mobilization of water resources currently in the City of Ain-Temouchent have different origins (surface water-groundwater, local resources-external resources) taken from several points. They are intended for the drinking water supply of households and communities, industry and irrigation in the agricultural sector. This mobilization is done through several infrastructures, some of which are located outside the Wilaya to mobilize surface water (external transfers). Drilling concentrated in some municipalities in addition to sources and wells allows the abstraction of groundwater. Given the pressure of water demand that accompanies the development of the Wilaya, the latter also resorts to desalination of seawater and the reuse of wastewater for the agricultural sector. In this provision, mobilization makes it possible to explore different scenarios in order to choose the desirable scenario that respects a balance between the three components of sustainable development: social, economic and environmental
