Moroccan Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Ahmed El Bouari, announced on Monday that, following royal directives, a series of seawater desalination plants will be completed by 2030, aiming to produce over 1.7 billion cubic meters of desalinated water.
These plants will support coastal cities and reduce pressure on traditional water resources, prioritizing agricultural needs.
Among the major projects are desalination plants in key regions: the Dakhla plant, with a capacity of 37 million cubic meters per year (70% complete), and the Casablanca plant, producing 300 million cubic meters, with 50 million designated for irrigating 8,000 hectares. Other projects include plants in the Eastern region, Tangiers, Rabat, and the Souss-Massa region, with capacities ranging from 150 to 350 million cubic meters, primarily for drinking water and irrigation.
Water basin connection projects, including linking the Sebou and Oum Er-Rbia basins, have transferred over 580 million cubic meters to date.
El Bouari emphasized the completion of infrastructure projects to meet the growing demand for both agricultural and drinking water.
