Boutoumite, a researcher in water resources, told MAP that the Royal speech calls for adopting an effective water policy that will overcome the repercussions of several successive drought years and scarce rainfall, which have contributed to drastically reducing dams’ filling rates.

   He stressed that HM the King stressed the importance of raising awareness about the importance of water conservation, as it is a key indicator of development, urging all stakeholders to bring new mechanisms and more effective solutions to address water scarcity.

   The academic noted that the Throne Day speech set out the contours of an innovative water policy to address the shortage of water reserves, which requires paying special attention to the appropriate implementation of projects that will solve the problem of the scarcity of water resources.
