The audit court called for strengthening coordination between the main parties involved in valuing dams, farming and the Morocco’s Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE), in creating and accelerating a “river highway” program, according to First President of the audit court Zineb El Adaoui on Tuesday before the two Parliament chambers.
El Adaoui presented the primary results of the investment framework, which include the valuation of dams, mobilizing the State’s properties for the benefit of investment, and other topics. She insisted on the collaborative aims to move forward with the relevant projects, as well as on accelerating the completion of technical and financial studies relating to watershed interconnection projects.
El Adaouii highlighted that the Council had already completed a series of monitoring tasks about water allocation for irrigation, distribution of drinking water, liquid cleansing, and provision of drinking water to the village world, and assessed the strategy and procedures for valuing dams.
ONEE adopted the audit court’s water planning documents, in particular, the National Water Strategy 2009-2030, the National Water Plan 2010-2030 and the Integrated Water Resource Generation Guidelines 2011-2030.
The non-compliance of some programs is due to delays in the direct dispossession of property packing and the use of supplementary deals to cover additional works.
She stressed the rehabilitation of dam-based water transport channels and the valuation of small dams, as well as delays in the construction of several dams relative to projections, as only 16 large dams out of the 30 planned during 2010-2020 were constructed.
