;Context
  • The Sahrawi refugee camps located in Tindouf (South-West of Algeria) have developed over the past 45 years into semi-permanent settlements with a full array of public services. The refugees are distributed in five camps, with their distances given from Tindouf city: Awserd (35 km away from Tindouf), Boujdour (25 km), Laayoune (10 km), Smara (40 km), and Dakhla (180 km). The camp administrative structure is organized, up to neighbourhood level. There is peace and social stability in the camps, and Sahrawi refugees live in peaceful coexistence with local communities in Tindouf.
  • Tindouf region does not enjoy surface water resources, and the only source available has been from the underground aquifer in the form of boreholes. Before its distribution to the refugees, water is currently treated by two reverse osmosis plants (one is located in zone 1 ’Layoune and Ausserd camps’’ and the second in zone 2 ’Smara and Boujdour camps’’. Considering only the high conductivity of water produced in both zones, the two reverse osmosis plants were installed in 2002 and 2010, without much consideration of their operation cost over time.
