The Régie Autonome Multiservices d'Agadir (RAMSA) has turned to treated wastewater to water green spaces as an effective alternative to address the water stress prevalent in the Souss-Massa region.
This ecological initiative aims to meet the demand for watering green spaces and contribute to efforts to mitigate the repercussions of water shortages and rationalize water resource management.
RAMSA has invested significantly in collecting, transferring, and treating wastewater for reuse in watering golf courses (450 hectares) and green spaces (600 hectares) in Greater Agadir.
To this end, the «M'zar» treatment plant was commissioned in 2010, forming a key component of the investment chain in the southern part of Agadir. This hydraulic infrastructure provides an annual potential of 11 million cubic meters of purified water, which is expected to increase to 24 million cubic meters after an extension scheduled for 2026.
The purified water produced is distributed via a tertiary treatment plant with a capacity of 30,000 cubic meters per day, three reservoirs with capacities of 2,500 cubic meters, 3,500 cubic meters, and 7,000 cubic meters (total capacity 13,000 cubic meters), an 87-kilometer-long conveyance and distribution network, and two pumping stations with capacities of 245 liters per second and 195 liters per second.
RAMSA has invested nearly a billion dirhams in the construction of two wastewater treatment plants, one in the northern zone (Aourir) and the other in the southern zone (M'zar), in addition to building the necessary infrastructure to distribute the treated water.
