Project Description and Objectives:
The project aims at constructing an earth fill dam on Bouchta valley in
Chefchaouen province which is one of Laou valley streams; an important valley in

40,000 people.
b. Improving the income level of the citizens working in agricultural
activities by promoting their ability to produce irrigated high-yield crops.

beneficial in cases of fires that broke out in the neighboring forests. The
project includes the following components:
