The residents of the Dar Al Hamra territorial community center, part of the Adraj command in Sefrou Province, are facing a severe crisis in accessing potable water. The inhabitants have expressed their deep frustration with the ongoing crisis, accusing successive councils of mismanaging this vital issue.
In statements to the press, residents confirmed that the situation is worsening during the current summer season, which is witnessing a notable rise in temperatures. They warned that the continuation of this crisis could threaten social peace in the area, especially given the absence of alternative sources of water supply.
The residents pointed out that the problem does not lie in the lack of water resources, but in mismanagement. They emphasized the failure of elected councils and territorial officials over decades to implement an effective program to supply homes with water, despite the area’s proximity to the Mdaz Dam and a group of valleys.
Residents revealed the existence of a study dating back to 2000 aimed at connecting all the community’s villages to the potable water network, at an estimated cost of 500 million centimes at the time. However, the community council failed to provide the necessary financial allocations to implement the project.
As a result of this situation, residents reported the spread of random well-digging in the area, which has led to a significant depletion of the water table and the drying up of some springs that used to meet the needs of the population.
This comes at a time when calls are increasing for urgent measures to solve the water crisis in the region and ensure the residents’ right to sustainable access to potable water.
