sba review
A monthly publication, available on our web site!
The Middle-East is one of the most water scarce region in the world. Worldwide, the average water availability per person is close to 7'000 m3/person/year, whereas in Middle-East, only around 1'200 m3/person/year is available. With the population expected to grow with a rate around 3%, per capita availability is expected to halve by 2050.
The source of water varies from country to country. Some, like Turkey and Iraq rely mostly on surface water from large international rivers. Others, like the Arab States of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries depend almost entirely on groundwater and desalination, while others use a mixture of surface and groundwater. Most countries have mobilized almost all available surface water, and many major rivers do not reach the ocean. Some even have a largely negative water balance for tens of years.

BEP in Morocco
Implementing a better environmental management in Moroccan hotels
The Ministry of Moroccan Tourism, in partnership with sba and the Hotelkeepers Federation, took the initiative to promote a better environmental management in the Moroccan hotel sector. This cooperation is centred on the application of the “Best Environmental Practices for the Hotel Industry” Guide, published by sba in 2008. Following a first phase of awareness raising and training, the partners obtained the support of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO, Switzerland) to implement the project. This pilot project aims at introducing the guide methodology to approximately 30 Moroccan establishments in the country. These hotels are followed up by sba experts during the guide methodology implementation phase.
