Project Presentation
Sustainable Technologies and Services for Water and Land Management in Morocco (I-WALAMAR) concentrates on the recycling of residues in agriculture. Agricultural material and sludge from municipal sewage treatment are analyzed. Residual materials which today lead to environmental pollution should help to improve resilience and fertility of soils in the future.
The aim of the I-WALAMAR project is therefore to research and implement innovative solutions for the Fès-Meknès region in Morocco in terms of local recycling, protection of ecosystem services, restoration of degraded soil and optimization of crops.
