Morocco - Pilot project for artificial recharge of the Haouz water table from Oued Ghmat

The Haouz Nappe artificial recharge pilot project from Oued Ghmat, with a total estimated cost of € 2,148,000, aims to improve the living conditions of the people of the Haouz plain by securing the availability of water by the artificial recharge of the aquifer. This pilot project was developed by the Government of Morocco as a major intervention of the Master Plan for Integrated Water Resources Management because of the important economic challenges posed by groundwater in the Haouz plain. It is organized around the following four components: i) Technical, socio-economic and environmental studies, ii) Development works, iii) Monitoring, evaluation and documentation and iv) Project management.
