Drought leads to strict water rationing in Algiers

Middle Eastern Times
ALGIERS Algerian authorities on October 1 announced water rationing in the capital Algiers, restricting supplies to one 15-hour period every three days as a result of a crippling drought. The state-run water utility EPEAL said in a statement carried by the official APS news agency that the rationing was necessary because of a sharp drop in the rate at which reservoirs supplying the capital were filling. Algiers residents will have running water from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. once every three days until further notice, it said. The state body in charge of dams, Agence Nationale des Barrages (ANB), has said the water in Algeria's 48 reservoirs fell to a record low 38.4 percent of capacity on August 22. The Keddara reservoir supplying Algiers was 17 percent full and two dams in Medea province, just south of Algiers, were completely empty. The government has had to ration water in Algiers for the past four years, though less stringently, because of the water shortage.


The following is an update on my Drought relief page posted several weeks ago...Note that just because these countries have received drought relief, due to the fact that the growing season is over, these countries still must deal with famine according to the FAO...

Satellite photos over the last few weeks indicate that rains have come to Algeria and blow is just one beautiful photo of drought relief in Somalia after years of drought. The pattern has been consistent enough to be certain the drought relief has in fact come to Somalia.

The Sahel has received above average rainfall all summer, and the crops are doing well and the pasture lands are regenerating, according to the FAO.
Burkina Faso
Niger

Over the last couple of weeks the drought has broken in the following countries according to the information I have been gathering.(Drought relief often causes flooding due to the hardening of the ground that takes place during the drought causing run off until the soil softens)

Ethiopia
Sri Lanka
Kenya
Somalia
Uganda
Central america
Azerbaijan
Tajikistan
Turkmenistan
Uzbekistan
Korea

There are some signs that the drought is beginning to break finally in Iran as the northern regions begin to receive rain in due season for a change. The following countries still require drought relief.

Jordan
Iraq
Iran
Afghanistan
Parts of Pakistan

Drought has also been affecting these countries but I have not been able to confirm that relief has come, although Georgia was receiving rain the last time I located some info, and cloud cover indicates that Rwanda and Southern Sudan must be receiving drought relief...
