King Mohammed VI underscored the need to address the water challenge by speeding up desalination projects that are powered by renewable energies. “This will also make it possible to irrigate vast farming areas, thereby helping to enhance the country’s food security,” he said. The monarch also called for “the development of a national water desalination industry as well as courses for the training of specialized engineers and technicians. “Considering the efforts that are being made to provide water for us all, we ought to be honest with ourselves regarding the sound, rational use of water resources. Indeed, spending billions and billions in order to mobilize water resources, only to see that cases of waste and misuse continue to exist, is unacceptable.” The King said.
