In the small fishing village of Beddouza in western Morocco, locals have turned to the Atlantic to quench their thirst, using mobile desalination stations to combat the kingdom's persistent drought.
Since 2023, Morocco has built some 44 of these desalination stations, also called "monobloc"—compact, transportable units that have come as a boon against the increasingly tangible effects of climate change.
The potable water is distributed with tanker trucks to remote areas in the country, currently grappling with its worst drought in nearly 40 years.
Hassan Kheir, 74, another villager, described the mobile stations as a godsend, as groundwater in the region "has dried up".
