  Algerian Association of Hydrogeology 1st congress

  For a Deep Knowledge and a Sustainable Management of Groundwater in Algeria. The first congress of the Algerian Association of Hydrogeology aims to create a tradition of meetings of academics, industrialists, political decision-makers and people from the civil society in general, in order to create a dynamic of consultation through debates and exchanges on the main theme: the problems of water, particularly in Algeria.
  These meetings, under the aegis of the AAH, will have as objectives the updating of knowledge of the hydrosystems of Algeria, the diffusion of new knowledge (different methods and tools of management and preservation of the water resources), the establishment of a sustainable communication network for all researchers and decision-makers involved in water management as well as the involvement of young researchers and students in this dynamic.
  Algeria is known to be one of the most water-deficient areas, though in the southern part of the Sahara it has great potential for groundwater that is very slightly renewable. This is not only due to the low and irregular rainfall, but also to the practices and mismanagement of water resources.
  Despite adherence to concepts that seem theoretically more appropriate, such as integrated water resources management that takes into account all scientific and socio-economic aspects for sustainable management of water resources, and even if the national average of provision of drinking water has been noted, we continue to suffer depletion of aquifers and a deterioration in the quality of water resources.
  
  The main mission of the AAH will be to become part of a national process of consultation to address this challenge through coordination between the different water actors, at the national level and cooperation on a global scale.

  Organised by Algerian Association of Hydrogeology.
