Abstract
The aim of thispaper is to try to investigate the impact of economic growth on the environmental pressure of water consumption within the framework of the Kuznets environmental curve in Algeria , both in the short and long term, by conducting a standard study in Algeria during the period 1980-2018, The ARDL self-regression methodologywasused to verifythis study using variable the water consumption as a dependent variable and explanatory variables represented in real GDP and the population.
The study, based on the study variables, found that the model of economic growth and environmental pressure of water consumption in Algeria does not comply with the assumptions of the environmental Kuznets curve, neither in the short or long term
