  abstract = {{T}he {M}acta {R}iver basin in {A}lgeria is under pressure. {A} water accounting of the basin demonstrates the severity of the crisis, with a net water depletion rate estimated at 93-142%, depending on the assumptions made. {T}his reflects the overexploitation of the aquifers whose annual depletion is estimated at between 86 and 126 {M}m3. {T}his paper first discusses the causes of basin overbuilding and the over-allocation of water, and then analyses the economic, social and environmental consequences. {I}t calls for a stricter water accounting of river basins in {A}lgeria as the 2030 {A}genda for {S}ustainable {D}evelopment and its {SDG} 6 are implemented.},
