The Marrakech Region Water Supply Project in Morocco consists in ensuring the secure supply of drinking water to the city of Marrakech and its neighbouring urban centres from the Al Massira dam and meeting the industrial water needs of the country’s Phosphates Authority (Office chérifien de Phosphates – OCP). Its design was based on the priority needs outlined by ONEE (Water Branch) in its Programme Contract with the Moroccan State for the 2012-2016 period. This area has three poles (Marrakech, Al Haouz and Al Kelaa) which are experiencing significant urban, tourism and industrial development. The project has the following components: (i) Development of water production, storage and supply infrastructure divided into two subcomponents: one part "water declogged" &amp; another part dedicated to "treated water"; (ii) Technical support: Studies, control and supervision of works. The total cost is estimated at UA 212.1 million, with a 60-month period (2013-2017) planned for completion. This operation provides an opportunity for the Bank to foster its cooperation with a major water sector partner in Morocco, the French Development Agency, which participates in its financing.

Le projet d’approvisionnement en eau de la région de Marrakech au Maroc consiste à la sécurisation de l’approvisionnement en eau potable de la ville de Marrakech et ses agglomérations limitrophes à partir du barrage Al Massira, ainsi que la satisfaction des besoins en eau industrielle de l’Office chérifien de Phosphates « OCP ». Il a été conçu sur la base des besoins prioritaires retenus par l’ONEE (Branche Eau) dans le cadre de son projet de Contrat de Programme avec l’Etat marocain pour la période (2012-2016). La zone concernée comprend trois Pôles (Marrakech, Al Haouz et Al Kelaa), qui connaissent un développement urbain, touristique et industriel important. Le projet comporte les composantes suivantes : (i) Aménagement d’infrastructures de production, de stockage et d’adduction d’eau subdivisée en deux sous-composantes : une Partie « Eau débourbée » & une autre Partie dédiée à l'« Eau traitée » ; (ii) Appui technique : Etudes, contrôle et supervision des travaux. Le coût total est estimé à 212,1 millions d’UC, avec une période de 60 mois (2013-2017) prévue pour son exécution. Cette opération constitue une opportunité pour la Banque de promouvoir sa coopération avec un partenaire important du secteur de l’eau au Maroc, à savoir l’Agence française de développement (AFD), qui participe à son financement.

The project will help to meet the drinking water and industrial water needs of the Marrakech region by 2030 by tapping surface water from the Al Massira dam.

Le projet permettra de satisfaire les besoins en eau potable et en eau industrielle de la région de Marrakech jusqu'à l'horizon 2030 moyennant la mobilisation des eaux de surface à partir du barrage Al Massira.

The project will prioritize the populations of the towns and cities concerned and neighbouring urban and rural centres. In terms of supply, it will strengthen and improve the quantity and quality of the drinking water supply of about 2 million people as from 2017 and provide both ONEE (Water Branch) as producer and distributor, and the Marrakech Autonomous Water and Electricity Distribution Board (RADEEMA) as distributor with the resources to sustain growing demand in the areas concerned until 2030 – when the area’s population will reach about 3 million, with over one million in in rural areas. It will also help to supply the industrial water needs of the Phosphates Authority (Office chérifien de Phosphates – OCP) for its Ben Guerir site.

Le projet bénéficiera en priorité aux populations des villes concernées et des centres urbains et ruraux avoisinants. En matière d’adduction, il assurera le renforcement et l’amélioration de la quantité et de la qualité de l’approvisionnement en eau potable d’environ 2 millions de personnes dès 2017, et donnera les moyens à l’ONEE (Branche Eau) en tant que producteur et distributeur, et à la Régie autonome de distribution d’eau et d’électricité de Marrakech « RADEEMA » en tant que distributeur, d’accompagner l’évolution de la demande des populations des zones concernées jusqu’à l’horizon 2030 (à cette date, la population concernée avoisinera 3 millions d’habitants, dont plus d’un million en milieu rural). Il permettra aussi à l’Office chérifien de Phosphates « OCP » de satisfaire ses besoins en eau industrielle pour le site de Ben Guerir.
