Morocco turns to nuclear science to combat water scarcity
As droughts become more frequent and severe, Morocco is deploying nuclear science to strengthen its water management strategy.
At the heart of this initiative stands the National Center for Energy, Nuclear Science and Technology (Cnesten). Working closely with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the center leads a national shift toward nuclear techniques to better manage and preserve water resources.
This cooperation focuses on using nuclear-derived tools to monitor underground water reserves, optimize irrigation, and enhance desalination processes. These technologies allow scientists to trace the origin and age of groundwater, assess contamination risks, and improve the efficiency of water use in agriculture.
Through this partnership, Morocco is developing its technical expertise and aligning with global standards in sustainable resource management. It also strengthens its resilience against the climate crisis by integrating innovation into public policy.
Nuclear science, often associated with energy, is thus becoming a key component of Morocco’s environmental strategy. By adopting these methods, the country positions itself as a regional example of how advanced technologies can serve vital ecological goals.
