يخصص مركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد حلقة برنامجه الأسبوعي "حديث الثلاثاء" لمناقشة ندرة المياه في المغرب: الأسباب، التحديات والافاق المستقبلية.

شهد المغرب في السنوات الاخيرة ندرة مياه من المفترض حسب التوقعات أن تتفاقم في السنوات القادمة. تعزى مشكلة ندرة المياه الى خلل في معادلة الطلب والعرض حيث تزايد الطلب على الماء في حين أن العرض انخفض نظرا لعدة أسباب نذكر من بينها تناقص حقينه السدود جراء توالي سنوات الجفاف نتيجة لتراجع وقلة التساقطات المطرية.

في هذه الحلقة سنسلط الضوء على أهم الأسباب التي أدت الى تفاقم ندرة المياه، الإجراءات التي اتخذتها الحكومية وكدى بعض الحلول المقترحة لتدبير الأزمة رفقة ضيفنا فاطمة الزهراء منكوب، باحثة في الاقتصاد بمركز السياسات من أجل الجنوب الجديد.

    This paper aims at evaluating the virtual water content in trade in an intra-country perspective and discussing potential tradeoffs between the use of natural resources and value added creation. We develop a trade-based index that reveals the relative water use intensities associated with specific interregional and international trade flows. The index is calculated considering the measures of water and value added embedded in trade flows associated with each regional origin-destinat ...

    This paper reports the results of an application using an interregional input-output matrix for Morocco together with regional information on water consumption by sectors. We develop a trade-based index that reveals the relative water use intensities associated with specific interregional and international trade flows. We estimate, for each flow associated with each origin-destination pair, measures of trade in value added and trade in water that are further used to calculate our in ...

Bien des décisions individuelles portant sur la consommation, l’épargne et l’investissement sont, en effet, liées aux termes de l’échange. L’évolution de ces derniers, définis comme le rapport entre les prix à l’exportation et ceux à l’importation, est considérée comme un indicateur du pouvoir d’achat d’un pays et constitue une variable fort ...
