The main objective of this activity is to value the cost of degradation of water resources at the Oum Er-Rbia watershed level to help decision makers at the national and local levels to identify and prioritize concrete actions to improve the management of the basin through the funding of potential projects that will reap environmental benefits.

Based on the recommendations of the assessment six intervention areas are proposed for the integrated and sustainable management of water resources of the basin:

1-       Efficient investments for domestic pollution control in rural and peri-urban areas which have been neglected in the past.

2-       Considering opportunities to increase agricultural productivity by reducing the impact of salinity.

3-       Gradually shifting the policy of intensifying the exploitation of natural resources,

4-       Planning upstream interventions that reduce siltation of dams

5-       Setting up an information network for decentralized monitoring, monitoring of the environment and natural resources of the basin.

6-       Considering a horizontal action for an overall and integrated management of water in the watershed.
