AFRIQUE : le dessalement dĂ©sormais au cƓur des stratĂ©gies d’approvisionnement en eau – South Africa

Mais, de plus en plus, des usines sont construites pour fournir de l’eau utilisĂ©e pour l’irrigation des plantations. C’est le cas de la station de dessalement de dessalement d’Agadir (au Maroc), actuellement en construction, avec une capacitĂ© attendue de 275 000 m3 par jour. Une partie de l’eau traitĂ©e, c’est-Ă -dire 125 000 m3 par jour, alimentera un systĂšme d’irrigation dans la plaine de Chtouka, au centre-ouest du Maroc.

En Afrique du Sud, l’un des pays africains les plus touchĂ©s par les pĂ©nuries d’eau ces derniĂšres annĂ©es, Lucky Star, un fabricant de conserves de poissons s’est dotĂ© de deux usines de dessalement d’eau de mer privĂ©es [
