What Solutions Do They Have?

The Algeria government has invested $2.2 billion to desalination plants. They have built dams and water resoviors to collect rainfall, and they already import water from other countries.

My Solutions

They lose around 50% of their drinking water to leaks in pipes. They can increase the pipe managment and they would lose less water. They can filter river water and grey and black water to reuse so they can reuse and save water. They can use renewable energy sources like solar or wind power can make the desalination process more eco-friendly and cheaper so they can desalinate more water.

The red dots are where the desalination plants are, they are all next to the sea which makes it cheaper so they dont always have to transport water to the plants.
