Algeria presently has 57 big dams with a total capacity of 6.8 Gm ³. Still, this potential quantity of water is lowered by the silting-up of reservoirs, evaporation from the lakes and water losses through bank and dam foundations. According to the last measurements in 2006, the silting-up of the 57 Algerian big dams is 45 Mm ³/yr, with strong disparities from one site to another and a significant increase in erosion in some catchments during the last decades. This situation represents a decrease in capacity of 0.65% per year. Evaporation measured at 39 big dams causes a mean annual loss of 250 Mm ³, i.e. 6.5% of their maximum capacity. Uncontrolled water losses through banks and foundations were estimated at 40 Mm ³/yr for 22 big dams.
