The High Accounting Council has published its annual report, which includes a set of points that Hiba Press will publish in detail in subsequent articles.

Among the points covered in the report is the percentage of natural water per capita in Morocco, which has seen a frightening decline in recent years.

According to the contents of the report, the problem of water stress constitutes one of the most significant challenges facing our country, especially in light of the increasing effects of climate change, which have resulted in successive years of drought.

The percentage of natural water per inhabitant in Morocco has seen a continuous decline in recent decades, going, according to data from the Ministry of Equipment and Water, from 2,560 cubic meters in 1960 to 606 cubic meters in 2024. that is to say less than 1,000 cubic meters per inhabitant per year, the internationally accepted threshold. Water shortages are close to the absolute water shortage threshold set at 500 cubic meters per capita per year.
