The measures were discussed at a coordination meeting chaired by Sefrou Governor Ibrahim Abou Zeid, attended by officials from the agriculture and environment sectors, representatives of the Sebou Water Basin Agency and the delegated company. The meeting focused on preventive measures to limit the impact of uncontrolled wastewater discharge on groundwater and natural ecosystems, in line with national priorities on water conservation and tackling water stress.
The provincial authorities have also adopted an inspection and monitoring plan covering olive mills across the province. The program includes field visits to check whether production methods comply with environmental standards and whether operators are meeting the requirements set out in the applicable environmental specifications.
