Event 6th Algeria Electricity and Water Expo

The 6th Algeria Electricity and Water Expo will be held on 8-10 November 2010 in the Algerian capital Algiers. This is important 3-day trade-show will serve the ever-growing electricity and water needs in Algeria.

An inadequate supply of potable water in Algeria is another environmental issue that the country is facing. The persistent water shortage in Algeria is hurting the national economy especially when it harms agriculture. Algeria is 95 percent arid land and some 80 percent of Algeria’s land surface is in desert zones where rainfall is practically zero. John Hopkins University predicts that Algeria will have a ratio of water annually of less than 1, 000 cubic meters available water per person in 2025 which makes water one of the main concerns for Algeria’s future. While the water sector in Algeria is languid, there is more demand to import.
