Morocco, Environment, 2/7/2002

Morocco, guest of honor at the Paris international exhibition of water quality and protection, dedicated its pavilion displaying products and services by Moroccan public and private operators

The third exhibition called "Thermalies-Aqua-Expo," held in Paris from February 6 through 10, is the only event of the kind open to the public.

Moroccan participants are displaying the kingdom's strategy in water resources and both public and private water-related facilities.

Morocco was the only country deserving most to be guest of honor at the exhibition, given its endeavors to have a modern and healthy water-supply network and its good sea environment, says the exhibition commissioner, Bruno Soubiron.

Morocco's minister of sea fisheries, Said Chbaatou, who dedicated the pavilion, said it is a pride for Morocco to be a guest of honor at the event, adding that several water-related actions and programs have been carried out while others are being conducted to promote a better and rational use of water resources.

A conference on "Morocco and water challenge" is also featured. It will address issues related to generalizing drinking water supply, mobilization of water resources through dams construction, cleaning industrial waste water and the impact of water resources quality on health in Morocco.

Organizers say the event seeks to answer questions by the French population on the quality of water they are drinking as a poll conducted last year showed that 73% of the polled people requested more information on the water used.

The exhibition will also address wrong ideas about water regarding contents of lead, radioactivity, minerals and diseases.
