The AI4WATER team marked a significant milestone with their first field survey in Algeria’s Annaba aquifer region, advancing the PRIMA project’s mission to optimize water resources using artificial intelligence.
The Day 1 expedition focused on comprehensive sample collection and measurements across critical sections of the Annaba aquifer. These samples will undergo detailed laboratory analyses to support AI-driven water management solutions for coastal areas. A highlight of the survey was meeting Mr. Nacer Bahri, a local farmer whose cooperation proved invaluable. The team expressed deep appreciation to all farming community members who opened their wells and shared insights about regional water challenges.
Leading the research effort were distinguished Algerian scientists: Dr. hab. Tachi Salah Eddine, Dr. hab. Bouguerra Hamza, and Dr. Bourouga Moncef, with essential guidance from REDD Laboratory professors. The survey continues over Days 2 and 3, involving master students, collaborators, and local stakeholders in completing this crucial first campaign phase.
By integrating artificial intelligence with traditional knowledge, the project aims to develop sustainable water management strategies that will benefit coastal communities facing increasing resource pressures.
