Morocco has about 22 billion cubic meters of conventional renewable water resources per year equivalent to 730 cubic meter/capita/year. Before taking into account drought years of the 1990s and 2000s total renewable water resources were estimated to be much higher at around 29 billion cubic meters [2] [3] However, only up to 20 billion cubic meter per year can be economically captured ...
A dry winter and a five-year trend of declining annual rainfall have contributed to severe water scarcity and adversely affected the agricultural sector. The rise in temperatures is linked to increased greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and urbanization. [20] Imider, a water-stressed community in Morocco's southeast, faces climate change ...
Morocco faces severe water scarcity due to climate change, population growth, and increasing agricultural demands. Over the past few decades, rainfall has decreased by about 20%, creating significant challenges, especially in rural areas where around 2.2 million people lack reliable access to clean drinking water.

The closures affect the roughly 200,000 people directly or indirectly employed in the hammam sector, which accounts for roughly 2% of the country’s total water consumption, according to Morocco ...
This water scarcity relates to water available for food production, rather than for drinking water which is a much smaller amount. [3] [22] Some academics favour adding a third type which would be called ecological water scarcity. [20] It would focus on the water demand of ecosystems.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. [55] The rainfall in sub-Saharan Africa is highly seasonal and unevenly distributed, leading to frequent floods and droughts. [56] The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reported in 2012 that growing water scarcity is now one of the ...
Communal tap (standpost) for drinking water in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa. May 2005. Groundwater plays a key role in sustaining water supplies and livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa especially due to its widespread availability, generally high quality, and intrinsic ability to buffer episodes of drought and increasing climate variability.
