1 Introduction Water is one of the most important raw materials in Algeria. In the context of sustainable management of invaluable water resources for the future, Algeria has taken quantitative and qualitative adaptive steps. By implementing a domestic water plan, Algeria aspires to safeguard its water resources and provide a sustainable response to water supply and management problems. This program is consistent with all projects adopted by the Algerian government to improve the quality of its water sector. This book explores up-to-date information on water quality, water treatment, and water resource protection and development in Algeria. This book addresses the question of how science and technology can be mobilized to make that promise come true. Therefore, the intention of the book is to improve and address the following main theme. – – – –
