Jordan Daily – Since July 2020, the EU-funded project “Water and Environment Support (WES) in the Southern Neighborhood Region” has been supporting the Ministry of Equipment and Water of the Kingdom of Morocco as part of an activity that articulates on the management of water demand linked to water scarcity, in order to meet the high water demands that are expected to increase further in the future, in particular under the effect of climate change, and with a view to improving water demand management (WDM) within the framework of specific uses, namely domestic, public and tourist uses.
In July 2022, in Rabat, the WES team of water experts organized, in collaboration with the General Directorate of Hydraulics, the first Consultation Workshop on the conclusions of the first part of the activity with the participation of representatives of several institutions related to the theme studied. Thus, the results of the assessment of the inventory of water demand in Morocco and the diagnosis of the situation were presented, according to a statement sent to Jordan Daily.
Just a few days ago, on July 13, 2023, a second WES Consultation Workshop was organized in a hybrid format, during which a reference framework for water use in Morocco and the water audit guide were presented, in addition to the recommendations and the proposed action plan aimed at anticipating WDM in the country in the short, medium and long term.
