[PDF Version]Rabat - Minister of Equipment and Water Nizar Baraka announced a MAD 43.1 billion ($4.2 billion) allocation for Morocco's 2025 public investment in water and infrastructure. He presented the budget plan to the House of Representatives' committee on infrastructure, energy, mines, and environment.

Baraka noted that the National Water Plan 2020-2050, a key framework for managing Morocco's water resources, is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. This long-term plan aligns with Morocco's New Development Model and incorporates insights from water resource master plans.
