In Morocco, one of the countries most exposed to climate volatility, innovation is already changing lives. Since 2023, more than 44 mobile desalination stations have been deployed to provide safe water in remote areas.
👉 In Beddouza, a fishing village northwest of Marrakesh, three compact units now supply 45,000 people with drinking water directly from the ocean, a breakthrough for communities where groundwater has completely dried up.
These mobile systems can each produce up to 3,600 m³/day, covering a radius of 180 km. Beyond supplying households, they demonstrate how decentralized, flexible infrastructure can deliver impact where traditional solutions are too slow or costly.
⚠️ With Morocco’s dams at historic lows (just 28% on average), and projections of an 11% drop in rainfall by 2050, the race for water resilience is urgent. Desalination is expected to provide over 1.7 billion m³ annually by 2030, covering more than half of the country’s drinking water needs.
🌍 And let’s be clear: desalination is one of the most efficient technologies available today; more so than many electric cars, hydrogen engines, or even solar panels when we look at systemic efficiency. Its impact goes beyond engineering: it generates positiveimpact on water resources, strengthens resilience, and achieves transversality across all 17 SDGs.
This is not just about quenching thirst. It’s about transforming scarcity into Water Positive impact that regenerates ecosystems, communities, and economies. ✨
