A 107 million dirham project is expected to strengthen drinking water supplies to five municipalities in Morocco’s Zagora province. ONEE built a 105-kilometre pipeline from Zagora, two reservoirs and a pumping station; Governor Mohamed El Alami Ouaddane inaugurated the facility on Monday, according to MAP.
The governor of Morocco’s Zagora province, Mohamed El Alami Ouaddane, inaugurated a 107 million dirham drinking water supply project intended for five municipalities. The project will convey water from the Agdez Dam to Tamegroute, Fezouata, Ktaoua, Tagounite and M’Hamid El Ghizlane, according to the MAP news agency.
Built by the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE), the infrastructure comprises a 105-kilometre pipeline from Zagora, two reservoirs with capacities of 500 and 250 cubic metres, and a 2,000-cubic-metre-per-day pumping station. It is expected to serve around 54,000 people, or 18% of the province’s population, as part of the 2020-2027 National Programme for Drinking Water Supply and Irrigation.
In Tamegroute, the governor also launched the resurfacing of a three-kilometre section of National Road 9, at a cost of around 6.5 million dirhams. The project includes the development of a car park of approximately 37,500 square metres, funded by the Ministry of Equipment and Water.
These projects are part of a series of water and road projects launched in several municipalities in the province on the occasion of Unity Day and the 51st anniversary of the Green March. The neighbouring province of Tinghir also launched social and health projects on 1 November 2026.
