Abstract

According to the United Nations World Water Development Report 2017, wastewater, which is an untapped resource, effluents from domestic discharges into Algeria are discharging:

  • A volume of collected sewage of 1570 × 106 m3/year.

  • Only 275 × 106 m3/year of wastewater are treated (17%)

  • Of the 17% purified, only 7% are used in irrigation (19.3 × 106 m3/year).

This work, conducted in the 18 sewage treatment plants of the Wilaya of Mascara, provides quantitative and qualitative results, which can be exploited by decision-makers in the water resources sector.
