| Abstract | ||
| It is believed during the previous Century that water resources are unlimited natural resources and inexhaustible which could be used without any legislative controls. Thus, waters occupied a secondary role in development processes which witnessed a huge and speed growth during the 2nd half the 20th century and to create water crises in so many regions in the Arab Homeland. This has led to a clear change in concepts related to water resources and being known that these resources are limited factors affecting both economic and social growth. At present, states of Arab Maghreb suffer from sever water crisis due to natural circumstances represented by shortage of rain fall , the misuse of these resources and the increase of population in addition to economic, environmental and technical factors. | ||
