This report presents the progress made by the WRS project in calendar year 2001 towards achieving the results of USAID’s environmental strategic objective to “improve water resources management in the Souss-Massa”. In the Nakhla watershed, the objectives of soil erosion reduction targeted by the project have been exceeded. In Fes, the Dokkarat chromium recycling plant is complete. In 2001, WRS also completed lessons learned workshops for the Drarga and Dokkarat projects, launched a project web site, and held a workshop on wastewater reuse. The Watershed Protection and Management (WPM) activity began on October 1st, 2001.
