Morocco is currently facing a crisis exacerbated by several years of drought. The Moroccan Ministry of Transport and Water reports a staggering 78 per cent drop in the volume of surface water, plunging the country into a critical situation that requires an urgent response from the government.
Over the past six years, Morocco has seen the volume of its surface water resources shrink from over 15 billion cubic metres to just 4.84 billion . This spectacular decline not only threatens aquatic ecosystems such as lakes and rivers, but also affects the drinking water supply of millions of citizens.
