At the end of the recent Board of Directors meeting of the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) in Morocco, the head of the Moroccan government, Aziz Akhannouch, validated an investment project of 5.3 billion Moroccan dirhams (about 495 million euros) for drinking water and sanitation in 2022.The public company is implementing several projects in the Cherifian kingdom. Part of its budget will be used to continue the drinking water supply projects underway in Morocco. This will increase ONEE’s production capacity to 7.35 million cubic meters per day, securing service for the population. “To achieve this objective, it is planned to build new facilities in 2022 for an expected production capacity of nearly 1.343 million m3 and to equip an additional flow of 561,600 m3 of drinking water per day,” says ONEE. In the North African country, wastewater management is also the focus of attention.
