Abstract

A transition in water resource management has been taking place in Morocco for some years. Whereas long before, the needs of all user sectors were met without difficulty. Certainly, without water no life is possible. In this vision, water sovereignty always takes precedence within Moroccan strategies. In the context of structural water stress, actions are multiplying across conventional water boundaries to meet the demands of the sectors that use this vital commodity, moving towards the blue economy. Desalination of seawater is a sustainable opportunity to be seized, despite the energy-intensive and costly process. Among other things, the phenomenon of exporting virtual water through agricultural goods watered from these desalinated marine waters, deserves a judicious reflection and patriotic decisions on the part of decision-makers, in a vision of equality between present and future generations.
