Cap Djinet Sea Water Desalination Plant (Algeria)
The Cap Djinet Water Desalination Plant is a project located in Cap Djinet, a cape of the Mediterranean Sea near the town of Djinet, Algeria. The plant is part of a major desalination program launched by the Government in 2002 to face the severe water scarcity in the country.
Being a country mostly covered by the Sahara Desert, Algeria presents an uneven distribution of water resources, mainly distributed in the northern regions, producing a massive concentration of the population in this area. In addition, these water resources have suffered a severe stress over the years due to continuous droughts, over-exploitation and management inefficiency, that led to a water crisis.
