Abstract

The study addresses the economics of adapting to climate change in the irrigation water sector in Morocco, using a cost benefit analysis (CBA)-focused, multi-stakeholder approach to climate change adaptation. All stakeholders agreed that conversion to drip irrigation system is the only solution to the water deficit, which is partly caused by observed climate changes. The majority of farmers were not aware of the non-monetary benefits of drip irrigation revealed by the study. The Regional Office of Agricultural Development in Tadla (ORMVAT) confirmed that the results of the project will help to convince farmers who have not yet signed up to this project.
