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. This reflects the overexploitation of the aquifers whose annual depletion is estimated at between 86 and 126 Mm3. This paper first discusses the causes of basin overbuilding and the over-allocation of water, and then analyses the economic, social and environmental consequences. It calls for a stricter water accounting of river basins in Algeria as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its SDG 6 are implemented. specialized BASSIN VERSANT COURS D'EAU BILAN HYDRIQUE PENURIE SUREXPLOITATION AQUIFERE IRRIGATION DEFICIT BESOIN EN EAU EAU POTABLE RESSOURCES EN EAU EAU SOUTERRAINE METHODOLOGIE ZONE HUMIDE CHANGEMENT CLIMATIQUE ALGERIE 062EVAEAU02 22 2022 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010085736 10.1080/07900627.2022.2089100 [F B010085736] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010085736 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2022-09/010085736.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2022-08-09 2025-02-24 fdi:010085736 fre
