The Ifrane pilot project aims to improve the understanding and sustainable management of water resources in the Middle Atlas Causse, a region sensitive to climate variability and increasing water demand.
Conducted within the framework of UMJAE and the Water Embassy (AdE), with the technical support of ABHS Sebou, whose engineers supervised field activities and data validation, the project uses the STRATEAU Academic tool, developed, modernized, and owned by CEREMA, under an academic license granted to AdE for educational and non-commercial purposes.
The project reconstructs water uses, analyzes sectoral demand (agriculture, drinking water, industry), and assesses water-stress scenarios. This work supports hydraulic planning, guides territorial decision-making, and provides a basis for sustainable adaptation strategies in Ifrane, while contributing to a clearer national vision for water resource management.
