The report presents the results of a field survey that was conducted in order to achieve a comprehensive diagnosis covering all aspects of the village Ait Idir.

In particular, it describes:

- Socio- economic, environmental and water supply, sanitation and energy related aspects;

- The legal and institutional framework;

It also makes an assessment of relevant stakeholders.

This report will provide a tool for decision support for the implementation of the pilot ecological sanitation and storm water management in the study area. This project will be accompanied by outreach activities to promote the acceptance and acquisition of knowledge necessary for a sustainable transition towards the reuse of ecological sanitation products and integrated management in the rural commune.

The report describes the actions taken to improve the reuse of treated wastewater produced by the waste water treatment plant in Médenine and includes the following information:

- A detailed description of the components of the pilot project: tertiary treatment equipment quality control, weed cutting and clearing the bed of the wadi for better infiltration (or seepage basins in the river);

- An environmental management plan to protect the health of farmers and the environment by monitoring the evolution of soil and groundwater quality;

- A program of capacity building for stakeholders and awareness raising of users;

- A coordination mechanism between relevant institutions;

- An estimate of the costs and arrangements for managing the pilot project.

A recent SWIM-SM analysis on the current situation in the sector of water and sanitation in Morocco revealed a number of areas where progress can be made, among which:

  • Facilitating the decision-making process.
  • Developing a comprehensive institutional framework for the re-use of waste water and strengthening
  • specialized technical expertise in the field.
  • The deregulation of industrial waste standards to allow Water Basin Agencies to gain financial
  • independence and to put their policies into practice.
  • The establishment and development of a sanitation policy in rural areas and the development of appropriate technology.
  • Reform and coordination of databases and creation of a national water database.
  • Increased participation of stakeholders and water users in the management of water and sanitation, and a better-developed information and communication policy.
  • Institutional and technical regulation for the treatment and recovery of sewage sludge.
  • Taking better account of the concept of Public Health and the establishment of an appropriate framework.

The analysis is based on existing studies/documents and country missions that took place during the last quarter of 2012 and aimed at (a) illustrating the status of development and implementation of wastewater strategies, plan of actions and associated policies; (b) identifying achievements and success stories; (c) examining constraints and challenges; (d) identifying opportunities for advancing missing priority elements in the development and implementation efforts and (e) suggesting recommendations and proposed policy options to enhance the development and integration of wastewater national strategies into national water plans.

The assessment was followed by a one-day national consultation workshop involving all relevant stakeholders, who reviewed and validated the findings and provided guidance to ensure that the proposed priorities, policy options and recommendations address the country’s current and future needs.
