00:05From leak detection to smart irrigation, Algeria is moving beyond traditional infrastructure,
00:11adopting digital solutions to improve water management.
00:15A national initiative is uniting public institutions, universities, researchers and innovators
00:22to develop home-grown technologies and reinforce long-term water security.
00:30Over the past 10 years, Algeria has financed projects in this sector worth up to $8.5 billion.
00:37Without these investments, the country would be facing a severe water resource crisis today.
00:42Start-ups supported by the state are also leveraging technology to promote more efficient water use
00:48and improve resource management.
00:52The approach prioritizes cutting water losses, boosting desalination performance and increasing water reuse.
01:01Central to these efforts, start-ups are emerging as key players, delivering practical, technology-driven solutions on the ground.
01:12At the African level, we have been among the pioneers in this field.
01:16We have introduced solutions including ultraviolet technologies for wastewater treatment
01:21and zone-based systems for purification, while developing a wide range of innovative technologies.
01:29Recycling industrial and urban wastewater alongside desalination projects is helping redirect resources toward farming.
01:41Today, efforts are focused on recycling industrial water and urban wastewater,
01:46as well as developing seawater desalination projects with the aim of directing them toward the agricultural sector.
01:54For farmers, the impact is already visible.
01:57Smart systems now allow real-time control of irrigation, improving efficiency while conserving water.
02:07The impact of technology on farming is increasingly visible.
02:10artificial intelligence now enables farmers to remotely manage operations, controlling water systems and operating pumps for center pivot
02:18and drip irrigation directly from their mobile devices, helping optimize usage and significantly save water.
02:25As Algeria faces rising water stress driven by climate change and growing demand,
02:31innovation is becoming a key part of the solution, transforming how water is managed, conserved and used across the country.
02:39A large number of devices can be found at the region of the cities of the city,
02:39in the city of the city of the city of the city city of the city of the city.
