Main Project Features:
In Greater Casablanca, the recommendations of the National Water Plan (PNE) essentially consist of the construction of a desalination plant to secure the drinking water supply of this large city.
This projected seawater desalination unit is planned to be built to supply drinking water to Greater Casablanca by 2030 and will be sized for an eventual capacity of around 300 Mm³ in 2 phases (phase 1 in 2026: 200 Mm³/year and phase 2 in 2034: 300 Mm³/year) to enable:
-
The substitution of current withdrawals from the Oum Er Rbia for the supply of the south of greater Casablanca, Berrechid / Settat on the one hand and the coverage of increases in demand by 2050 on the other hand;
-
The irrigation of an irrigated perimeter in the coastal area between Sidi Rahal and Azemmour for the irrigation of high value-added crops (annual water needs estimated at 30 Mm³).
-
For this purpose, the Ministry of Agriculture has planned the development of the agricultural perimeter in the coastal area between Sidi Rahal and Azemmour with high value-added crops.
