ALGIERS: Algeria plans to spend US$5.4bil boosting what are already Africa’s largest desalination facilities, as climate change piles pressure on the member of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ water supplies.
Five new plants due to start operating this year will hike the amount of drinking water the nation will have the capacity to produce from the Mediterranean to 3.7 million cubic m per day from 2.2 million, according to Lotfi Zennadi.
