Abstract

Like many countries in the world, Morocco is faced with the problem of the development and sustainable management of its water resources. The demand for drinking water is increasing day by day. The objective of this article is to assess the drinking water consumption needs of the Kenitra region by performing a statistical analysis of the sale of drinking water consumed during the three years 2017, 2018, and 2019 by the seven neighborhoods in the city of Kenitra based on the physical-chemical and microbiological water already conducted in a first study using data obtained by the Autonomous Intermunicipal Water, Electricity and Liquid Sanitation Board. We determine the average amount of water consumed by each neighborhood by comparing the amount of drinking water consumed by the population of each neighborhood and its impact on economic development in general, which highlights the average annual consumption of the seven dominant drinking water neighborhoods. The results show that the average quantity of drinking water distributed annually in 2017 is 21,641,231 m3, thus the quantity of water distributed in 2018 is 21,098,692 m3 and the quantity of water distributed in 2019 is 24,218,279 m3.
