Developing country partner: Institut Agronomique et Vétérinaire Hassan II
Project duration: March 2005 - March 2011
Project purpose: The purpose of the project is to strengthen the capacities of the Institut Agronomique et Vétérinaire (IAV) Hassan II to train qualified specialists, technicians and engineers in the management of wastewater treatment and reutilization. Key results to date: The waste water treatment and reuse pilot station located at the Institut agronomique et vétérinaire Hassan II in Rabat is operational. The station includes a series of artificial wetlands and is used, among other things, to carry out research. It is also open to visitors. The Haouz site is operational as well and is used to carry out experiments on the disposal of black liquor (vegetable water). To date, in collaboration with the National Bureau of Potable Water and the Ministry of Agriculture in Morocco, seven workshops on wastewater management have been offered to 379 participants, of whom 23 percent were women; the workshops also trained 56 Moroccan engineers in household wastewater management. An international course on the collection, treatment and reuse of rural community wastewater has been offered in collaboration with the European Union. Finally, an awareness day on the management of liquid and solid agro-industrial wastes was organized for agricultural cooperatives of the Béni Mellal region.
