Farmers in the Berrechid region are being condemned for preparing agricultural land for the upcoming season, disregarding government decisions to preserve the water bed and overusing groundwater for irrigation. This has led to the depletion of the water bed and issues for neighboring residents. The National Association for the Defense of Human Rights in Morocco has received complaints and is urging officials to address these concerns. The association has also criticized the absence of monitoring by local and regional authorities and the Benslimane Water Basin Agency.
