Morocco's Water Worries: Can Innovation Outrun Drought?

The agricultural sector, which consumes a staggering 87% of Morocco's water resources, presents a significant challenge. While practices like maintaining water-intensive green spaces and inefficient irrigation me- thods continue, the sector's overall economic output in terms of water
usage remains low. Morocco World News (MWN) spoke with Azzedine El Midaoui, Director of the International Water Research Institute at UM6P, who shed light on the
complexities of the situation. While acknowledging the challenge isn't unique, he said that Morocco faces additional hurdles due to rapid urbanization and changing agri-
cultural practices.
