Water is the most precious natural resource in rural Morocco. Currently most water canals built for irrigation are made of earth. Water evaporates easily and seeps out, wasting as much as one-third of the water supply.
• The Solution: Cement canals, water pipes, and basins conserve precious water, and irrigate previously dry land, dramatically increasing agricultural productivity. They also open up the region and provide the opportunity to build service centers, such as schools, health clinics, and women’s cooperatives.
• The Impact: A one-kilometer canal costs $20,000 to construct and will increase agricultural yields by up to one-third, significantly benefitting 500 people in one of Morocco’s most remote regions.
