This national water plan for the next 30 years will mobilize around 383 billion MAD ($40 billion) over the next 30 years. The plan includes several axes including strengthening water supply and demand management with in particular savings, to be made in the agricultural sector, amounting to 2.5 billion cubic meters of water.
 
 
 
The plan also provides for the construction of 50 large dams. With the objective of achieving a storage capacity of 32 billion cubic meters of water, compared to the current 18.7 billion cubic meters.
