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.

    Chinese investors are increasingly interested in Africa. Some criticize them for privileging mining investments. A 2017 analysis of these investments shows that investments in mining have not been the only ones privileged by the Chinese operators. Many other sectors such as transport and energy have benefited from Chinese investments, much more so than the mining sector, for example. ...

    Last week the World Bank released a Staff Note (2017) analyzing the pension reform proposal sent last December by Brazil’s Federal Government to Congress. It concludes that (p.16, our emphasis): “… the proposed pension reform in Brazil is necessary, urgent if Brazil is to meet its spending rule, and socially balanced in that the proposal mostly eliminates subsidies received under the current rules by formal sector workers and civil servants who belong to the top 60 percent of house ...

    We argue in this paper that electricity production needs to be multiplied by a large factor in the coming years for East Africa to reach the economic growth rate it deserves after the improvement of its socio-political situation. The rural electrification rate in North Africa as represented for instance by Morocco was higher than 99.50% in the first quarter of 2017 while it was barely 10% in some parts of Western Kenya. We also make the case for hydroelectricity as the adequate ren ...

    While possible, prospects for repairing existing fractures through multilateral dialogue and compromise have become elusive as crises in the region persist. There are quite a few unfavorable conditions hindering the emergence of some form of multilateral security process: areas of hot conflict have widened in recent years making violence almost endemic in the region, in countries like Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Libya. The Middle East peace process is in a stalemate and already thin trus ...

    Development finance is an issue that typically concerns developing countries where numerous, grave socioeconomic problems persist, including – and not among the least – the need for stable development finance in higher quantity and of higher quality. However, development finance could also be used today as a growth-enhancing concept applicable to advanced economies, to boost their growth and help their social inclusion. It could contribute to rebalancing macroeconomic policies and m ...

    Turkey has been approaching a crossroads for some time now. Soon enough it will have to choose a direction. On April 16, 2017 Turks will vote in a referendum on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s proposed constitutional amendment that would shift the country’s power center from a parliamentary system to a presidential one.  If successful, not only would this further consolidate power in the executive’s hands—in this case Erdogan himself—but it would also pave the way for him to rema ...
