Residents of the commune of El Menzel, in the province of Sefrou, are grappling with a serious problem stemming from the presence of an unregulated waste dump near their homes. This dump poses real concerns for the health and safety of citizens and has a negative impact on the area’s natural resources.
According to many locals, the dump, which is neither monitored nor managed, presents a direct threat to the environment and groundwater. It is located near a main well that residents rely on as a primary source of drinking water, significantly increasing the risks. There are growing concerns about the potential seepage of leachate into the water table, which could contaminate the water supply and endanger public health.
In this context, local stakeholders have issued warnings about the serious consequences of the dump and have called for urgent intervention by the responsible authorities to address the situation before it’s too late. They stressed the need for sustainable waste management solutions and the importance of enforcing oversight to protect both the environment and the public.
The residents, expressing deep frustration with the current conditions, are awaiting swift action from local authorities and concerned entities to eliminate this environmental and health threat.
