PAM Secretary General added that His Majesty King Mohammed VI is giving great priority to water security, which is a commitment embodied by the Moroccan Kingdom through the launching of many leading programs aimed at preserving water through the construction of dams which represent a primordial importance for the Kingdom; highlighting that some of the conclusions from the new development model have raised the issue of water and has shown that Morocco will witness a big hydric pressure, due to climate changes, so that Morocco will move from water shortage to water scarcity.
