RWH could present one of the solutions to mitigate water scarcity, but the financial viability of any implemented system is crucial. This document has been produced to assess the effectiveness of rainwater collection systems, their economic viability and the impact of implementing them on saving water and relieving water stress. Azrou is chosen as a case study with two sites of implementation: apartment buildings and villas. The paper analyses the feasibility of the two projects and compares their economic viability. New innovative ideas are necessary to adapt the nature of the building to RWH systems as will be explored in the case of apartment buildings. Apartments buildings offer a low cost solution compared to villa buildings with initial investments of 4,140 Dhs and 8,340 Dhs respectively. This influences the price per m3 for rainwater harvested to be lower for apartments: 6.38 compared to 10.28 for villas and to 7.39 for municipal water at average consumption tranche. However, villa buildings are more viable for having a larger roof, more yield water and for moving the water bill from selective billing to progressive billing. They both have approximately the same payback period: around 8.8 years. Nevertheless, the Net Present Value at the end of the project lifespan is 9,359 Dhs for villa building and 3,317 Dhs for apartments. This project has a great environmental impact thanks to the possible water savings that could relieve stress from primary sources. Water savings can attain 121,954 m3 per year if it were implemented to the residential area of Hay Essalama and Nakhil with 2,200 apartments buildings and Hay Atlas with 200 villa buildings. 4 Table

  • 2000 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 23, 2001
    Morocco Page 1 of 41 Morocco Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2000 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 23, 2001 The Constitution provides for a monarchy with a Parliament and an independent judiciary; however, ultimate authority rests with the King, who presides over the Council of Ministers, appoints all members of the Government, and may, at his discretion, terminate the tenure of any minister, dissolve the Parliament, call for new elections, and rule by decree. The late King Hassan II, who ruled for 38 years, was succeeded by his son, King Mohammed VI, in July 1999. Since the constitutional reform of 1996, the bicameral legislature consists of a lower house, the Chamber of Representatives, which is elected through universal suffrage, and an upper house, the Chamber of Counselors, whose members are elected by various regional, local, and professional councils. The councils' members themselves are elected directly. The lower house of Parliament also may dissolve the Government through a vote of no confidence. In March 1998, King Hassan named a coalition government headed by opposition socialist leader Abderrahmane Youssoufi and composed largely of ministers drawn from opposition parties. Prime Minister Youssoufi's Government is the first government drawn primarily from opposition parties in decades, and also represents the first opportunity for a coalition of socialist, left-of-center, and nationalist parties to be included in the Government. The November 1997 parliamentary elections were held amid widespread, credible reports of vote buying by political parties and the Government, and excessive government interference. The fraud and government pressure tactics led most independent observers to conclude that the results of the election were heavily influenced, if not predetermined, by the Government.

    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 43 (2011), 227–249 doi:10.1017/S0020743811000043 Jonathan Wyrtzen COLONIAL STATE- BUILDING AND THE NEGOTIATION OF ARAB AND BERBER IDENTITY IN PROTECTORATE MOROCCO Abstract Colonial state-building in Protectorate Morocco, particularly the total “pacification” of territory and infrastructural development carried out between 1907 and 1934, dramatically transformed the social and political context in which collective identity was imagined in Moroccan society. Prior scholarship has highlighted the struggle between colonial administrators and urban Arabophone nationalist elites over Arab and Berber ethnic classifications used by French officials to make Moroccan society legible in the wake of conquest. This study turns to the understudied question of how rural, tribal communities responded to state- and nation-building processes, drawing on a unique collection of Tamazight (Berber) poetry gathered in the Atlas Mountains to illuminate the multiple levels on which their sense of group identity was negotiated. While studies of identity in the interwar Arab world have concentrated on how Pan-Islamism, Pan-Arabism, and local nationalisms functioned in the Arab East, this article changes the angle of analysis, beginning instead at the margins of the Arab West to explore interactions between the consolidation of nation-sized political units and multivocal efforts to reframe the religious and ethnic parameters of communal solidarity during the colonial period. The complex relationship between Arab and Berber identity is one

  • Thoughts on Karst Water Resources in the Middle Atlas Mountains ^Morocco
    Karst Water. Resources (Proceedings of the Ankara - Antalya Symposium, July 1985). IAHSPubl.no. 161 - THOUGHTS ON KARST WATER RESOURCES IN THE MIDDLE ATLAS MOUNTAINS ^MOROCCO Abdel kader Latati Directorate of Water Research and Planification Hydraulic Administration, Rabat, Morocco Abstract The Central Middle Atlas is a chain of mountains stretching from the Southwest to the Northeast between the Central Massif at the West, the Eastern Middle Atlas at the Northeast and the plains of upper Moulouya at the Southeast. Plateaus of less than 2000 m in altitude called Middle Atlas causses dominate the West and North. An anticlinal structure is situated SE and oriented SW—NE enclosing large synclinal structures. The dolomitic and calcareous formations of the lower and middle Lias landscape outcrop on the causses. Series of layers from Dogger to Pliocene cover these formations that are found in the folded chain. Up North, the calcaro - dolomitic layers of the Lias sink under Neogene basin of Fes - Meknes. The Central Middle Atlas is drained by the two largest rivers of Morocco : The Sebou to the North and Northeast and the Oum Er Rbia to the Southwest. The causses offer an abundant and varied sampling of karstic dissolution hill - shading ranging from minute forms to poljes and large dry valleys. But it is mostly just a superficial karst where lateral corrosion is no more active. The classical procedures for karstological studies are very limited for the following reasons : Lack of accessible subterranean galleries; springs are generally located far away from the karstic areas. The sires and discharges variabilities of the springs are very diverse.
