Important challenges such as population
growth, urbanization, economic expansion and climate
changeare looming over urban water security in Morocco.
While urban water demand is expected to rise by 60 percent
to 100 percent in most large cities by 2050, climate
projections suggest reduced precipitation and a sharp
decline in water resources availability. Morocco is expected
to enter a situation of extreme water stress in less than 25
years. The Water Law 36-15 recognizes these risks and
provides the relevant policies, institutions, regulations,
mechanisms and procedures for integrated water resources
management and created the necessary tools for its
implementation. The Law emphasizes the need for integrated,
decentralized, participative management of water, and
recognizes the importance of developing planning mechanisms
to address water scarcity. Institutions have been set up at
all levels of government and rules are in place to involve
civil society and the private sector in water management. |
