Morocco tackles six years of drought
Morocco is spending hundreds of millions to supply water to parched cities farther south but experts question the sustainability of the project amidst the growing climate crisis, according to The New Arab on March 30th.
The North African kingdom has spent $728 million so far on what it dubs a “water highway” to meet the drinking water needs of capital Rabat and economic hub Casablanca, according to official figures.
It plans in future to use other northern rivers to extend the project to the southern city of Marrakesh.
