"The trial of Abdelkader Kherba has been put back to September 4," Zerguine said, adding that the court had refused to release the accused ahead of his trial.
The defence team wants to present witnesses who were unable to attend Tuesday's court hearing in Ksar el-Boukhari, in the Medea region, 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of Algiers, where Kherba is being tried.
He faces up to two years in jail and a 10,000 euro ($12,500) fine if convicted.
The human rights activist was arrested in Ksar el-Boukhari, his hometown, as he prepared to film a demonstration by residents against the regular water cuts they endure.
A policeman prevented him from filming and an angry exchange between the two followed, resulting in Kherba's arrest.
