Abstract
Composed of two independent water transfer systems, the purpose of the "Setif-Hodna" project, located in Algeria, is to take the waters from two existing reservoirs which have been operated for several decades for power generation, and to transfer them by pumping, from Norh to South, to satisfy the water needs of the high semi-arid plateaux of the Setif region. Optimisation studies have shown that more than 300 millions m3 could be transferred annually, 22 % for drinking water purposes and 78 % for the irrigation of 40,000 hectares of agricultural land. Globally, this project represents an investment of 135 billion Euros. The economic analysis shows that the profitability of the investment can only be ensured if the State bears a significant part of the cost of the infrastructures.
