New desalination plant provides drinking water to Jebha residents

The Société régionale multiservices de Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceima inaugurated a seawater desalination plant in Jebha, a province in Chefchaouen, Morocco.

The facility aims to diversify local water resources and improve the supply of drinking water to the region. The Moroccan Ministry of Interior funded the project with nearly 13 million dirhams. The plant uses a compact reverse osmosis unit and a borehole to produce approximately 864 cubic meters of desalinated water every day.

This output provides water for about 14,500 people living in Jebha and Amtar. The infrastructure includes filtration, pretreatment, remineralization, and final disinfection to ensure the water meets safety standards for human consumption. It also features dedicated electrical connections and pipelines for both raw and treated water.
