King Mohammed launches development projects in southern rural areas
Morocco, Politics, 6/13/2000

Morocco's King Mohammed VI launched Monday evening a series of development projects to benefit rural areas in the southern Tiznit province as part of the national program to alleviate drought-effects in most hardly hit regions of the kingdom. Similar projects meant to promote farming output, and extend electric and drinking-water supply to faraway villages were launched earlier in the day in several local communities of the Chtouka-Ait Baha province.

The king also launched the construction works of the M'zal dam to provide drinking-water for neighboring villages, increase irrigation capacity and protect Ait-Baha downtown from floods. The $ 13 million dam to be completed in three years will have a capacity of 5 million cubic meters.
