WaPOR activities in Algeria
Algeria is characterized by severe water stress, a situation also exacerbated by climate change and population growth. The country faces the challenge of producing more agricultural products using less water, which makes the issue of water productivity a crucial element of reflection and decision making for resilient and sustainable agriculture.
The WaPOR project provides an opportunity to address the water scarcity situation in Algeria through the expected outputs of the development of the open access water productivity platform, the strengthening of national technical capacities for precision agriculture and the development of digital solutions for rational water resource management at the farm plot level.
