Impending Heatwave in Ourika Rekindles Concerns Over Water Supply Disruptions

The Ourika region is preparing for an intense heatwave expected in the coming days, as concerns grow among residents over the reliability of drinking water supplies. These worries persist despite the significant rainfall recorded throughout the current season.

Residents report that recurring water outages continue to affect several villages across the area, particularly as temperatures rise and the peak tourist season approaches. The situation has raised questions about the capacity of local water infrastructure and distribution networks to meet increasing demand.

Local stakeholders have also warned of the potential impact of water supply disruptions on agriculture and tourism, two key pillars of the region’s economy. They are calling on the relevant authorities to explain the causes behind the recurring outages and to accelerate the implementation of planned water projects in order to ensure a stable and uninterrupted water supply during the summer months.
