A study day was organised on Tuesday in Dakhla to take stock of the state of water resources in the Oued Eddahab-Lagouira region. Initiated by the Department of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment, in charge of water, this day aimed to identify the needs and expectations of the region, by promoting consultations at the local level via the opening of the debate with local actors in order to better define the specific problems in terms of water resource management with the goal of responding to them effectively. The day, in which the Wali of the Oued Eddahab-Lagouira region, Governor of the Oued Eddahab province, Lamine Benomar, and other parties concerned by this sector took part, was an opportunity to examine the various aspects relating to the management of water resources at the basin level and to highlight the achievements and efforts deployed by the Sakia El-Hamra and Oued Eddahab Hydraulic Basin Agency with a view to meeting water needs and accompanying the major projects and works underway in the basin. The speakers at this day called for redoubling efforts with a view to optimal management of water resources in order to guarantee the supply of current and future generations with water, and this through the implementation of a series of programmes and projects having as their main objective the good governance of the water sector and the preservation of water resources to be able to accompany the country's economic development and its major projects, notably the Green Morocco Plan and the tourism, industrial, and urban strategies. According to them, it is essential to proceed with the valorisation and rational management of water resources to make them compatible with the country's economic and social development aspirations. Note that the Sakia El-Hamra and Oued Eddahab hydraulic basin, which extends over an area of 350,000 km2, suffers from a water deficit due to low rainfall, which does not exceed 60 mm/year, and the overexploitation of underground resources. The generalisation of micro-irrigation, seawater desalination, and the purification and reuse of wastewater are among the solutions that are essential to mitigate this deficit at the regional level. A contract for the Dakhla groundwater table will also see the light of day.
