  • An emergency affected the Beni Hassen area due to the rainfall reduction in the last years, especially in the 2022-23 winter seasons, with zero rain in 2023, and more than 50% of reduction in 2022. This was the main reason why the MENAWARA project decided to rehabilitate the tertiary system (Sand filter +UV disinfection) and to build, in addition, a RCC tank of 100 m3 for improving the functioning of the CRDA pumping station at the outlet of the WWTP feeding the d/s piped irrigation network.


    Concerning the rehabilitation of the tertiary treatment system, the two sand filter vessels were properly painted and the sand, inside both, replaced 



    Regarding the UV disinfection system, 8 UV lamps have been replaced.

    This intervention allowed us to give an initial response to farmers in the Beni Hassen area who, in recent years, have been suffering the effects of climate change in terms of increasingly intense drought periods which make their activity more and more complex. The rehabilitation of the tertiary treatment of the Beni Hassen WWTP will allow irrigating with better quality TWW on approximately 30 hectares owned by farmers, which represent 50% of the irrigation area, who asked to use this non-conventional water. This intervention paves the way for further actions that could very shortly satisfy the needs of all 60 hectares of the Beni Hassen district.
