Morocco Replaces Tiles to Combat Drought
The Marrakech and Agadir experiment relies on replacing traditional zellige with water-absorbing varieties to reduce street and building temperatures. The goal is to cool the natural environment and lessen the dependence on air conditioning. This new type of zellige uses natural evaporation technology, allowing water to seep into the ground and lowering daytime temperatures. As a result, it helps reduce high temperatures and alleviates pressure on the electrical grid. This experiment is considered a sustainable solution to combat rising temperatures in Mediterranean cities and could lead to decreased energy consumption and improved environmental conditions during the summer.
