Core Insights - Morocco's water management sector is implementing a reform plan to enhance water resource management efficiency and sustainability in response to increasing water scarcity pressures [1][2] - The reform will utilize a public-private partnership model and focus on upgrading planning systems, optimizing investment structures, and promoting sustainable practices such as wastewater reuse and smart water management [1] Group 1: National Water Resource Plans - The National Water Resource Plan (PNE) and the National Drinking Water Supply and Irrigation Plan (PNAEPI) are the two core strategic frameworks for Morocco's water resource policy, aimed at addressing pressures from climate change, population growth, and economic development [2] - PNE, initiated in 2020 and planned until 2050, aims for integrated, equitable, and sustainable management of water resources across the country [2] - PNE includes four main components: development of conventional water resources (e.g., building dams, inter-basin water transfer), promotion of unconventional water resources (e.g., seawater desalination, recycled water), protection of water quality and ecosystems, and enhancement of water resource governance and planning capabilities [2] Group 2: Specific Objectives of PNAEPI - PNAEPI (2020-2027) serves as the operational framework under PNE, focusing on improving water efficiency in high-consumption sectors, particularly agriculture, which accounts for over 70% of national water usage [2] - The plan emphasizes three key areas: reducing irrigation and drinking water network losses, promoting water-saving technologies such as drip irrigation and remote monitoring, and strengthening the institutional and technical capacities of various public-private water management entities [2]
