The year 2024 saw great progress in improving water resources management in southern regions, which suffer major challenges due to water scarcity and high water demand.

Development of water networks

These efforts represent a clear commitment to developing water networks and rationalizing their use to achieve environmental sustainability and local development.

In Dakhla, a vast project is underway to strengthen the drinking water distribution network with an investment of 70 million dirhams.

The project aims to increase the efficiency of the network from 64% to 75%, which will provide approximately 2,300 cubic meters of water per day, reduce water wastage and ensure adequate supply to the population .

Increase the efficiency of the water network

In Laâyoune, the emphasis is placed on increasing the efficiency of the water network from 60% to 77%, with an investment estimated at 300 million dirhams.

This project is expected to help save up to 7,300 cubic meters of water per day, improving the city’s ability to meet the growing demand for water resources.

Drip irrigation systems

Additionally, efforts include converting traditional irrigation methods in areas such as Tawarta and FEO to drip irrigation systems, with a budget of Dh10 million.

This transformation is expected to help save around 5 million cubic meters of water per year, in addition to improving agricultural production with greater efficiency.

These projects embody an integrated vision that aims to improve water resources management by investing in infrastructure, adopting modern technologies such as drip irrigation and improving the efficiency of water networks.
