Morocco already has 11 desalination stations but intends to “triple its capacities by 2030”, says Médias 24 , by adding 9 new stations to the 11 existing and 7 currently under construction. With this comprehensive project of stations capable of producing nearly 1.3 billion cubic meters of drinking and irrigation water per year, the kingdom intends to develop a local industry. The government predicts that, ultimately, around 50% of drinking water will come from the desalination of sea water, notes Le360 .

Dam filling rate has dropped to 23% in Morocco on average in November with some critical dams such as Al Massira- supplying Casablanca- completely depleted.

Construction works for the biggest desalination plant in Casablanca would start next year. It will be able to pump fresh water by 2027, according to the water ministry.

The Casablanca desalination plant will have a capacity of 300 cubic meters, enough to ensure water security of Morocco’s largest city and its surroundings.

According to the Moroccan public company, these studies will make it possible to determine the needs in drinking water and irrigation, as well as the resources already mobilised in the cities of Essaouira and Guelmim. The sites for the future plants will also be identified and their surface areas determined.

The project also includes the mobilization of 35 million m³ of treated desalinated water per year for industrial use, of which 75 million m³ will be allocated to public services and 35 million m³ to the OCP industry. Four desalination units will be set up, including two located in Jorf Lasfar and two others in Safi.
