Résumé : |
The Maghreb regions (Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya) are facing increasing water scarcity amplified by inefficient water use and overexploitation of water resources. There is evidence that surface water is diminishing and that ground water levels are lowering rapidly. The countries are affected by climate change as rainfall is more erratic and there are longer lasting and more severe periods of drought, alternated with severe rains and catastrophic flooding. The projected climate change impact on agriculture in the Maghreb will most likely increase further. This is accompanied by salinization of soils and ground water, even strengthened by over-fertilization of soils, combined with a general low productivity and misuse of water. This paper summarized the country profile of the Maghreb regions (Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya) of key information that gives an overview of the water resources and water use at the national level. It can support water-related policy and decision makers in their planning and monitoring activities as well as inform researchers, media and the general public. Information in the report is organized by sections: All sources used to compile the country profile are also reported in the last section of the document.
