Morocco plans to mobilize almost €220 million over the next five years to implement the National Shared Liquid Sanitation Program (PNAM), aimed at recycling wastewater to irrigate green spaces and agricultural fields.
Towards the end of 2027, the Moroccan government expects to provide its citizens with 100 million m3 of treated wastewater per year. By 2050, this will amount to 340 million m3 per year, representing an 80% rate of treatment in Morocco, an international news outlet reports.
According to Moroccan authorities, the rate of water treatment has already exceeded 50% in Morocco in 2020, compared to 7% in 2006. This achievement is due to the implementation of the National Action Plan. As part of its National Action Plan, the Moroccan government plans to implement 87 projects, 22 of which will entail watering golf courses.
More than half of the 44 golf courses in the Kingdom use wastewater for irrigation. Since rainfall has decreased, it has become difficult to irrigate green spaces with fresh water.
Climate change is also threatening agriculture in Morocco. In addition to degrading soil, the phenomenon dries up water resources, the source of irrigation for agriculture. According to local media outlets, 65 resilience projects will be implemented through the PNAM, which will contribute to the mitigation of water stress through the improved water supply.
