| IWRM plan: |
An IWRM Plan does not exist however the elements of IWRM are contained within laws, policies and plans such as national plan for water (2005) and water law (2005). The obligation to elaborate on an Action Plan has been clearly stated in national legal framework. The IWRM implementation framework is currently under preparation and the key institution (actor) driving the IWRM process is the Ministry of Water Resources. Important issues such as stakeholder participation, gender mainstreaming, private sector involvement and river basin management approach are in place since 1996. The agencies responsible in water management are national Agency of Hydraulic Resources, National Agency of Dams and Large Transmission Mains, Algeria Water Company, National Office for Sewage and National Office for Irrigation and Drainage.
