Local sources reported this week that the area of Talafa in Taounate is suffering from a severe crisis in the availability of potable water or even suitable for domestic use, especially in light of the high temperatures expected during the summer months, and despite the existence of projects to provide potable water in the area, the issue lies in the lack of control over its use.
The sources explained that the main issue lies in the exploitation of this water to irrigate Indian hemp plants, depriving residents of access to water for drinking and domestic use.
People who want access to water wait for others to finish using it to irrigate the plant, reflecting poor oversight and management in the distribution of water resources.
This raises questions about the effectiveness of oversight, especially in light of His Majesty the King’s repeated calls to rationalize the use of potable water.
The sources fear that this illegal exploitation will lead to a reduction in the rate of filling the dams, given the huge amounts of water that are spent daily to irrigate Indian hemp.
The same sources called on officials in charge of the sector to take urgent measures to curb this exploitation and ensure a fair and effective distribution of water resources.
In light of this crisis, access to potable water has become an urgent issue that requires immediate intervention to ensure that the basic needs of the population are met, according to local sources.
