Educational Urban Vegetable Garden (ARADD, Casablanca)

MACasablanca, Morocco

An 1,600 m² educational garden in Casablanca irrigated with treated wastewater. In the water-stressed Greater Casablanca region it demonstrates in practice that treated effluent can water green space and, in some cases, produce food — and takes that message to schools, government and business.
