The document summarizes the Abengoa seawater desalination plant in Honaine, Algeria. The plant has a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters per day and began operations in 2011. It uses reverse osmosis technology and serves over 1 million people. This was the second large-scale plant developed by Abengoa in Algeria, along with other plants in Skikda and Ténès, totaling a production capacity of 500,000 cubic meters per day across the three plants. The desalination plant is part of Algeria's program launched in 2005 to address water scarcity issues.
