PRIVATE SECTOR CONTRIBUTION IN WATER MANAGEMENT The case of the coastal zone Rabat-Casablanca KINGDOM OF MOROCCO Ministry of Physical Planning, Water Resources and Environment State Secretariat of Water Resources Kyoto, March 20, 2003 3th WORLD WATER FORUM

Slide2: 

CHARACTERISTICS OF WATER RESOURCES IN MOROCCO PROBLEMS OF WATER SECTOR ORGANISATION OF DOMESTIC AND INDUSTRIAL WATER SECTOR PRESENTATION OF THE COAST ZONE RABAT – CASABLANCA PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN THE COAST ZONE RABAT-CASABLANCA OUTLINE

Slide3: 

CARATERISTICS OF WATER RESOURCES

Slide4: 

REGIONAL DIFFERENCES

Slide5: 

POTENTIAL WATER RESOURCES Mobilisable water resources : 20 Billion m3 Surface water : 16 Billion m3 Ground water resourses : 4 Billion m3 2/3 are used today : Irrigation : 86% Domestic and Industrial water : 14 %

Slide6: 

WATER SCARCITY Natural water resources Today : 1000 m3/capita/year 2020 : 745 m3/capita/year (35% of population receiving < 500 m3/capita/year)

Slide7: 

ANNUAL VARIATIONS AND IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGES Average 530 mm Average over the last 30 years : 470 mm Minimum : 200 mm

Slide8: 

PROBLEMS IN THE WATER RESOURCES SECTOR WATER POLLUTION Low level of autopurification levels in rivers Concentration of pollution sources Pollution sources: waste water, solid waste and fertilisers. SURFACE WATER QUALITY : 2000-2001

Slide9: 

SOIL EROSION AND SOLIDS TRANSPORTATION Important soil erosion : Filling up of reservoirs Reservoirs capacity losses : 65 Mm3/an Total capacity lost : 1 100 Mm3 from 16 000 Mm3. PROBLEMS IN THE WATER RESOURCES SECTOR

Slide10: 

WATER LOSSES Losses : 1,3 billions m3 (85% in irrigation) Causes : system characteristics, awareness, water tariffs, oldated technics FINANCING Water mobilisation is financed by the state Limited budget resources Research into new modes of financing (contributions from the private sector) PROBLEMS IN THE WATER RESOURCES SECTOR

Slide11: 

ACHIEVEMENTS WATER AND SANITATION URBAN AREAS Acces to potable water : 100 % (50% in 1980) Sanitation and water treatment lagging behind level of connextion to sewerage system : 80% Water treatement inexistant RURAL AREAS Acces to potable water : 50 % (14% in 1994)

Slide12: 

STEPS IN POTABLE WATER

Slide13: 

PRESENTATION OF THE COASTAL ZONE RABAT-CASABLANCA

Slide14: 

WATER DEMAND IN THE ZONE Assumption of the regional master plan of 1985 Acces to piped water : 87% in 2020 Average growth in domestic consumption : 1.4% Average growth in industrial consumption : 4 to 7% Overall efficiency : 74% in 2020

Slide15: 

CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM OF THE REGIONAL MASTER PLAN HEAVY INVESTMENTS : 0.9 BILLION US$ POTABLE WATER SECTOR : 0. 6 BILLION DH SANITATION : 0.3 BILLION DH LIMITATION OF STATE BUDGET : CONCESSIONS

Slide16: 

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN THE ZONE WATER SUPPLY GREATER CASABLANCA Concession since Aug 1997 for 30 years Investments : 2.1 Billion US$ (water supply and sanitation) Engagements: Improvement of 15% of distribution rfficiencies in 15 years Sanitation ans waste water treatment (1.6 billion US $) WATER SUPPLY RABAT Concession since Jan 1999 to 30 years Investments : 1.5 Billion US$ (0.9 billion US $ to water and 0.6 billion US $ for sanitation ) Engagements: Achieve an efficiency of 85.5% in years 20 Sanitation and waste water treatment

Slide17: 

ELEMENTS OF WATER DEMAND MANAGEMENT REDUCTION OF LOSSES Metering (replacement of 200 000 meters in 1999-2000 in Casablanca) Water loss detection Élimination of non metered connections

Slide18: 

CHANGES IN WATER CONSUMPTION Reduction of overall water consumption in Casablanca with 10 Mm3 between 1998 and 2000 Reduction of unit water consumption with 20 to 30% equalting a reduction of 2 to 3 % per year

Slide19: 

RESULTS OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP Demand management Reajustment of reduced water demand Reduction in waste water rejects Reduction of pressure on scarce water resources and adjustment of the investment program

Slide20: 

CONCLUSIONS Demand management is necessary because of water scarcity and financial constraints The private sector can effeciently provide a contribution to demand management Private sector interventions need to take place in a controlled framwork as to provide public services at a socially acceptable cost
