The Algerian government is examining an urgent plan to confront the scarcity of drinking water in a number of regions of the country with the aim of avoiding other popular protests such as those witnessed in Tiaret Governorate on the days of Eid al-Adha.

The Presidency of the Government held a meeting, led by Prime Minister Nadhir Arabawi, to discuss the measures taken to provide the population with potable water, within a special program to alleviate water shortages and achieve sustainability in water provision.

The Minister of Water Resources, Taha Darbal, explained, during a visit to Tiaret Governorate, that 27 billion dinars (about 200 million dollars) have been allocated for urgent projects to provide water in the affected areas.

Darbal announced the launch of a new program to reduce pressure on water, with the possibility of involving farmers in the future, pointing to a project to supply the city of Tiaret with an additional 10,000 cubic liters per day, increasing the amount distributed to 34,000 cubic metres.
