New Desalination and Treatment Stations to Ensure Continuity of Drinking Water
Addressing Growing Water Stress: A Sustainable Water Access Program in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra Region
In response to rising challenges related to water stress, an extensive program has been initiated to ensure sustainable access to drinking water in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region.
This ambitious project is the result of a partnership among the Ministry of Interior, the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra Region, the Souss-Massa Regional Multi-Service Company (SRM), and the SRM Rabat-Salé-Kénitra. It aims to establish 15 modular stations spread across six provinces: six seawater desalination units and nine brackish water demineralization plants.
Close Technical Supervision
Tasked with operational oversight, SRM Rabat-Salé-Kénitra leverages its expertise in hydraulic infrastructure management to ensure the successful execution of the program, thereby guaranteeing the continuity of essential services.
Stations Already in Operation
Three stations are currently operational:
- Ain Sbit (5 l/s – Khémisset)
- Ameur Chamalia (3 l/s – Sidi Slimane)
- Sidi El Kamel (5 l/s – Sidi Kacem)
Units Under Technical Testing
Several additional stations are presently undergoing technical testing:
- Laghoualem (5 l/s – Khémisset)
- Oulmes – Oued Fassal (3 l/s – Khémisset)
- Oulmes – Boutwal (10 l/s – Khémisset)
- Tiddas (10 l/s – Khémisset)
- Boreholes No. 3 and No. 7 (10 l/s each – Kénitra)
In Finalization (Expected to Be Operational Before the End of 2025)
- Two modular stations (5 l/s and 20 l/s) in Sidi Bouknadel
- Moulay Bousselham (20 l/s)
- Dar Gueddari (10 l/s)
A Collective Commitment to the Future
Beyond mere figures, this project embodies a shared commitment to ensuring water security for the region and supporting its territorial development through the mobilization of unconventional and sustainable water resources.
This initiative reflects a collective endeavor to guarantee sustainable access to drinking water and aid in the territorial development of the region.
