Morocco’s National Office of Electricity and Potable Water (ONEE) has launched a nationwide digital platform aimed at transforming the supervision of the country’s water infrastructure. The initiative comes amid growing pressure on water resources caused by prolonged droughts and rising demographic demand.
The platform will consolidate real-time data from water distribution networks across the country, allowing authorities to monitor treatment plants, reservoirs, and delivery points through a single, unified system. This shift replaces fragmented oversight with centralized supervision, enabling historical data analysis, intelligent alerts, and instant assessments of infrastructure performance.
Morocco’s water challenges have prompted a broader rethink of traditional management models. Recent reforms, including the creation of regional multi-service companies and increased investment in desalination, reflect a strategy focused on diversifying water sources and improving distribution efficiency.
ONEE currently manages a complex ecosystem of industrial automation tools, remote management devices, control systems, and geographic information platforms developed over decades. While these systems generate large volumes of data, their lack of integration has limited effective analysis and coordination.
The new digital platform addresses these issues by standardizing operational practices nationwide, improving traceability, and reinforcing cybersecurity protections for critical infrastructure. Built to international security standards, it ensures secure data exchange between IT and operational systems.
Covering ONEE’s full operational footprint from northern to central Morocco, the project includes detailed assessments of existing infrastructure, vulnerability mapping, and the design of a scalable target architecture. The platform is expected to reduce water losses, optimize energy consumption, and strengthen supply continuity, placing digital innovation and data-driven decision-making at the core of Morocco’s water strategy.
