SRM-MS: Engine of Regional Water Transition

At the heart of the 19th World Water Congress, the Marrakech-Safi Multi-Services Regional Society (SRM-MS) stands out as one of the most dynamic players in sustainable water management in Morocco. Driven by the Royal Vision and faced with unprecedented water stress, the region is becoming a national laboratory for innovation, efficiency, and civic engagement.

In recent months, SRM-MS has multiplied initiatives to accelerate the transition to sustainable water management. Among the key measures: diversifying the supply by making significant progress on the project to supply greater Marrakech with drinking water from the seawater desalination plant in Safi, as well as the annual mobilization of treated water resources aimed at reuse, exceeding 38 million cubic meters per year. This strategic asset helps reduce pressure on conventional resources and supports non-domestic uses. The company is also addressing a core issue: improving the efficiency of drinking water networks, a priority project designed to mitigate losses throughout the region, from urban centers to the most remote areas.

Another Major Focus of SRM-MS

is the widespread access to drinking water, which remains at the heart of SRM-MS’s public mission, ensuring the challenge of territorial equity. Through modernization of infrastructure, digital monitoring, and enhanced on-the-ground proximity, the company is gradually improving the quality of public service across all provinces of the Marrakech-Safi region.

Last October, SRM-MS provided a concrete glimpse of its new momentum by organizing its first Open Days at the Mohammed VI Museum for Water Civilization. Over four days, community members, youth, sector experts, and institutions explored an educational program dedicated to water, energy, recycling, and biodiversity. A hackathon titled “Water & Innovation,” which brought together students and startups, showcased how creativity can become a key lever for the water management of tomorrow.

This local mobilization, fueled by diverse partnerships, reflects a strong conviction: the preservation of water can only succeed if everyone gets involved. As the General Directorate of SRM-MS reminds us:

“Water is a shared resource; its preservation must be a shared responsibility.”

At the World Water Congress, SRM-MS thus comes to voice the experience of a territory in transformation, determined to reconcile innovation, territorial equity, and operational efficiency. A region not only aiming to address urgent water needs but also aspiring to establish itself as a national model of sustainable governance.
