January 21, 2009 - Located in Tipasa near the city of El Jazair on Algeria's northern coast, the 120,000 m³/d, (31.7 MGD) Fouka project is being developed by Acciona Agua of Spain and SNC Lavalin International of Canada on a 25-year build, own and operate contract basis. It is scheduled to begin operation in early 2010.
