The city of Settat marks a turning point in the management of its water resources with the recent inauguration of a groundwater treatment project intended for the supply of drinking water.
This project, led by the Casablanca-Settat Regional Multiservice Company (SRM) and funded by the Ministry of the Interior, is part of efforts to address the challenge of water stress in the region.
Faced with the increasing demand for drinking water, this project is based on an innovative and environmentally friendly solution: two mobile treatment plants, based on reverse osmosis technology. This technique makes it possible to treat brackish water extracted from the water table and produce high-quality water, thus meeting the growing needs of the local population.
The two recently installed monobloc stations can produce 6 liters of drinking water per second, a significant capacity to serve the inhabitants of Settat. Using reverse osmosis technology, these stations demineralize groundwater by removing unwanted minerals and making it drinkable.
This process, recognized for its efficiency and reduced environmental impact, transforms an underexploited resource into a reliable and sustainable source of drinking water.
The use of reverse osmosis marks an important technological advance in water treatment, especially in regions facing water stress.
By converting brackish groundwater into quality drinking water, the project represents a sustainable alternative to water resource challenges, particularly in semi-arid areas such as Settat.
The inauguration ceremony brought together the Governor of Settat province, representatives of local authorities, as well as SRM leaders, including the General Director and the Provincial Director.
This event demonstrates the importance of this project for the region and the commitment of the authorities to ensure the security of drinking water supplies in a context of climate change and increasing water stress.
As an innovative and environmentally friendly solution, this project also brings hope to other regions of the Kingdom facing the same challenges.
SRM Casablanca-Settat thus demonstrates its pioneering role in the use of advanced technologies to ensure sustainable access to drinking water, thus meeting the country’s sustainable development objectives.
This drinking water supply project in Settat is much more than just an infrastructure; it symbolizes a step forward in the fight against water scarcity in the region. Funded by the Ministry of the Interior, it demonstrates the Kingdom’s commitment to securing water resources and ensuring access to this vital resource.
With this initiative, SRM Casablanca-Settat is showing the way for innovative water solutions, adapted to the needs of populations and environmental constraints.
The inauguration of these two water treatment plants constitutes a major step for the Settat region, which is acquiring a reliable and environmentally friendly solution, capable of meeting the growing needs for drinking water and addressing the challenge of water stress for the years to come.
