حديث الثلاثاء : توقعات تحلية مياه البحر في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا

August 22, 2023

يخصص مركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد حلقة برنامجه الأسبوعي "حديث الثلاثاء" لمناقشة موضوع توقعات تحلية مياه البحر في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا مع الدكتور جواد الخراز، المدير التنفيذي للمركز الإقليمي للطاقة المتجددة وكفاءة الطاقة.

يعد الماء العنصر الأساسي في الحياة بعد الهواء، بدون مياه لن تقوم للإنسان حضارة، ولن يستطيع زراعة الأرض، ولا حتى تشغيل المصانع. تشكل ندرة المياه تحديا للحياة وسبل العيش. في هذا السياق من بين 17 دولة في العالم التي تعاني من الإجهاد المائي والعجز عن سد حاجياتها التي تعتمد على الماء، 11 دولة تقع في الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا، هذا الوضع دفع بلدان المنطقة إلى اللجوء إلى تحلية مياه البحر لسد العجز المائي، في ظل زيادة عدد السكان، والجفاف الناتج عن ارتفاع درجة حرارة الأرض والتغير المناخي.

اليوم تحلية المياه تمثل أبرز الحلول التي لجأت إليها دول منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا لتأمين موارد مائية جديدة وكدى لمواجهة الجفاف وعدم كفاية المياه السطحية وحتى الجوفية لسكان المنطقة.

نعود خلال هاته الحلقة إلى مناقشة مفهوم تحلية مياه البحر، الأغراض أو الأولويات المستهدفة من استخدامها، التكلفة المادية، أهم المشاريع المنجزة في دول الشرق الاوسط وشمال افريقيا، وكدى العلاقة الترابطية والثلاثية بين التحلية الطاقات المتجددة و التطور التكنولوجي، أهم المشاريع المنجزة في المغرب، المحطات الحالية والقادمة، أهم المدن التي ستستفيد منها وأين ستوظف هذه المياه التي ستحلى، وأخيرا مستقبل الامن المائي في منطقة الشرق الاوسط وشمال افريقيا، أسئلة وغيرها نناقشها مع الدكتور جواد الخراز، المدير التنفيذي للمركز الإقليمي للطاقة المتجددة وكفاءة الطاقة.

    Most of the Population Does Not Benefit Until mid-2021, cruise ships moved with all their glitz and glamour into Venice’s Guidecca Canal, overshadowing the historic buildings, the foundations of which were destabilized with every wave, and threatening fisher boats and cappuccino lovers sitting beside the canal. Thousands of cruise passengers spilled onto the cobblestone roads, enjoying Gondola rides, glimpsing the Bridge of Sighs, exploring the fish markets near the Rialto bridge a ...

    China’s economy grew by 4.7% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2024, after 5.3% in the first quarter of the year (Figure 1).

Naturally, great attention has been paid to the decisions of the Third Plenum of the 20th Communist Party of China Party Congress on July 15-18, a four-day meeting in which the country’s leadership sets out the direction of economic policy. The last such event was held in 2018. Do ...

    Millions are severely malnourished in a world where there is enough for all. Hunger and malnutrition stalk more than 3.1 billion people. Yet, widespread hunger in all its forms is a problem which has been largely solved at the macro level in today’s high-income, industrialized countries. Their “escape from hunger and premature death” is a fairly recent phenomenon. It began around 300 years ago, continued for most of the 20th century and is still ongoing today. The problems faced by ...

    Venezuela holds crucial presidential elections on July 28. The results might substantially alter the political system in that country, since, for the first time since 1998, the opposition candidate has a clear chance of winning the vote. Why has the opposition been unable to win elections in that country for almost three decades now? And why is it on the verge of winning elections this time? What is the international dimension of this electoral process? How might it impact Morocco? ...
