The Minister of Hydraulics, Lounès Bouzegza, officially launched the connection projects for seawater desalination plants under construction in Aïn Adjroud (Tlemcen), Sidi El Adjal (Mostaganem), and El Marsa (Chlef). These infrastructure works are part of a national strategy to improve water supply and strengthen the country's water security. Specifically, the project involving the Aïn Adjroud plant includes the installation of 105 kilometers of piping, with a budget of 67 billion dinars. Local companies will carry out the construction over a period of 16 months, divided into five segments. Once completed, these efforts will significantly improve the drinking water supply for the regions of Tlemcen and Sidi Bel-Abbes.
