Morocco’s Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan launched on Monday the construction works of the Casablanca seawater desalination plant, the largest in Africa. The facility, which has an annual production capacity of 300 million m3, will benefit 7.5 million inhabitants. It is also part of the $ 14.3 billion National Drinking Water Supply and Irrigation Program 2020-2027 launched by the Monarch in 2020. The Casablanca desalination plant will meet the growing demand for water in Greater Casablanca, the cities of Settat, Berrechid, Bir Jdid and the surrounding regions. This drinking water transport system necessitates an investment of over $ 300 million financed by public funds.
