Achieving Water Sustainability In Algeria: A Review Of Sdg 6 Indicators And National Policies

Authors : Boulfekhar Nacer .

Abstract

This paper reviews Algeria’s progress toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) on water and sanitation. It analyzes national indicators, policies, and institutional frameworks to assess achievements and remaining challenges. The findings show that Algeria has achieved near-universal access to drinking water and notable improvements in sanitation coverage, yet faces persistent issues related to water efficiency, resource quality, and climate stress. The study highlights the role of the National Water Strategy 2030 in promoting desalination, wastewater reuse, and integrated water resources management as key pillars for achieving long-term water sustainability.
