Morocco desalination to cover 60% by 2030
The Minister of Equipment and Water, Nizar Baraka, announced that Morocco will launch the second phase of the water transfer project in the Oum Er-Rbia basin next December, following the success of the first phase which connected the Sebou and Oum Er-Rbia rivers. This development will strengthen water supplies for drinking and agriculture in the regions of Doukkala, Tadla, and the High Atlas. He also revealed an unprecedented surge in groundwater levels, which rose by between 3 and 11 meters this year. Additionally, the kingdom is heavily relying on seawater desalination, which is expected to meet 60% of its water needs by 2030. Baraka emphasized that the Ministry has launched 200 mobile desalination stations to support villages and rural communities, as part of a sustainable national vision extending until 2050 to ensure water resources for future generations.
