Rabat-Salé-Kénitra: drastic measures to combat water shortages

Drastic measures have been taken to alleviate the water shortage and limit its waste in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region.

A press release issued by the MaaDialna.ma platform, under the Ministry of Equipment and Water, provides information on the strict measures decreed to rationalize the use of water in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region. In Rabat, the use of drinking water in washing streets, public squares, roads, as well as watering green spaces, gardens and sports fields is prohibited. Water treated via a connection to the public water network, or thanks to smart water reuse terminals will be used instead of drinking water for these activities. New plantings of natural grass are also prohibited. Hammams only open on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The filling of public and private swimming pools is limited to once a year. Offenders are exposed to sanctions: warnings, temporary closures, or even the withdrawal of administrative licenses.
