Report says profitable crops draining vital resources, deepening Morocco's water crisis

The article from MSN discusses a report highlighting the severe water crisis in Morocco, exacerbated by the cultivation of profitable but water-intensive crops like avocados and berries. These crops, primarily grown for export, are significantly draining the country's vital water resources. The report points out that Morocco's water scarcity is being worsened by climate change, with droughts becoming more frequent and intense.

The Moroccan government faces the challenge of balancing economic benefits from these exports with the sustainable management of its dwindling water supplies, prompting calls for more sustainable agricultural practices and better water management strategies.
