Abstract:

 Today, the desalination of sea water is sometimes presented as the 
miracle solution to the problems of scarcity of drinking water. In addition to 
the fact that it remains financially inaccessible to poor countries (in income 
or in oil), these technologies are major consumers of energy and the 
question of their environmental impact is far from being resolved. Too often, 
the establishment of installation of desalination is a way to circumvent the 
problems of bad governance of the water and to circumvent the necessary 
reforms. Algeria has lived more than a decade of drought and also the 
conventional resources in water insufficient to meet the needs of the 
population. Those who have encouraged the Algerian authorities to look to 
other resources to ensure the drinking water supply in this population. The 
most suitable solution, which does not depend on the vagaries of weathers, 
was the desalination of sea water.
The objective of our communication is to show why Algeria has 
opted for desalination as miracle solution for the problem of shortage of 
drinking water and the drought in Algeria. On the one hand, Algeria is 
affected by the impact of global climate change: increase of abnormal 
temperature, drought, of serious storms, a rate of rainfall very low in the 
western regions of the country; on the other hand, the process of 
desalination ha resolved for some regions of our country the problem of 
drinking water or running water in the home.
