Morocco Strengthens Water Infrastructure
Morocco has entered a new stage in managing its water resources through an integrated approach, according to Minister of Equipment and Water Nizar Baraka. During a press briefing on Monday, he highlighted the country’s growing reliance on desalination to address water scarcity driven by climate change and population growth.
Desalination Capacity and Expansion
Baraka confirmed that Morocco now operates 17 desalination plants across the country, with a combined annual production capacity of 350.3 million cubic meters of water. These facilities form a cornerstone of Morocco's national water strategy, which prioritizes sustainable supply solutions for both urban and agricultural use.
Government Strategy and Future Goals
The minister emphasized that the government aims to extend desalination coverage to all coastal regions, progressively reducing dependence on freshwater sources affected by drought. Future projects will focus on energy-efficient systems that integrate renewable power, particularly solar and wind energy.
He noted that ongoing investments in water infrastructure are central to Morocco’s strategy for climate resilience and food security. The integration of water reuse systems and advanced monitoring technologies further supports responsible water management.
“Desalination is not only a response to scarcity but a long-term pillar of Morocco’s sustainable development model,” Baraka said.
Regional Distribution and Partnerships
Desalination plants are spread across key coastal regions, including Agadir, Laayoune, and Casablanca. Many of these facilities were developed through public-private partnerships, ensuring technological expertise and financial efficiency in project execution.
Author Summary
Morocco accelerates its sustainable water strategy with 17 desalination plants producing 350.3 million cubic meters yearly, highlighting innovation, energy efficiency, and climate resilience.
