SRM Drâa-Tafilalet: 11 MDH for the Modernization of the Liquid Wastewater Network
Celebrating the 27th Anniversary of His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s Accession to the Throne, the province of Ouarzazate has launched two major projects aimed at modernizing the wastewater treatment network for the city and Greater Ouarzazate.
The official ceremony, held on July 24, 2026, was presided over by the Governor of Ouarzazate, alongside the Provincial Director of the Regional Multi-Services Company Drâa-Tafilalet (SRM Drâa-Tafilalet). Several elected officials, representatives of deconcentrated services, local authorities, and security services also participated in this event.
An Investment of 11 Million Dirhams
The two projects represent a total investment of 11 million dirhams, financed as part of the National Program for Collective Wastewater Treatment and Reuse of Treated Wastewater (PNAM).
The first project involves the rehabilitation of the main wastewater collector located on the west bank of the city of Ouarzazate. The second project plans for the renovation of manholes, covers, and drains within the wastewater network, as well as structures for stormwater management throughout Greater Ouarzazate.
More Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Infrastructure
These works primarily aim to enhance the performance of the network by reducing wastewater leaks resulting from aging pipes.
The modernization of these facilities will help limit pollution risks, preserve natural environments, and reduce unpleasant odors associated with infiltration. The goal is also to ensure greater durability of wastewater infrastructure and a more effective management of wastewater.
Reducing Flood Risks and Enhancing Safety
The program also includes the upgrade of damaged manholes and covers to enhance the safety of pedestrians and motorists.
Additionally, interventions on stormwater management structures will improve the flow of rainwater, limit water accumulation in urban areas, and reduce flooding risks during intense weather events.
These improvements will bolster the city’s resilience against climate change effects while enhancing mobility and comfort for residents.
SRM Drâa-Tafilalet Continues Its Structural Investments
Through these two new projects, SRM Drâa-Tafilalet reaffirms its commitment to continuing the modernization of water and sanitation infrastructures throughout the region.
These investments align with a strategy aimed at improving the quality of public services, preserving the environment, and supporting the urban development dynamic that the province of Ouarzazate is experiencing.
They also reflect the company’s commitment to promoting sustainable development based on modern, efficient infrastructure tailored to the future needs of the population.
