Geography

Morocco, located at the extreme northwest of the African continent, has a total area of 446,550 Sq.Km.

Apart from an important maritime facade, its relief is characterized by mountain ranges: i) the Rif to the north; and ii) the Atlas (including the Middle Atlas, the High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas) which culminates at 4,165 m (Toubkal). Plains stretch along the entire coast of the country; they are narrow along the Mediterranean and wide along the Atlantic. Finally, in the southeast of the Atlas and in the south of the country, there are desert to semi-desert plateaus and plains.

Announcements

Micro irrigation (drip/ trickle or localized irrigation) was introduced on a commercial scale in the world sometime in the seventies. Micro irrigation is the most efficient method of water application to crops; however, owing to the technicalities involved in the design, operation, and maintenance, the pace of its adoption was rather slow. The Conference aims to bring together all the stakeholders relevant to the field of irrigation, drainage, and other related aspects of water management. IMIC is a multi-sectoral platform creating avenues for discussions and engagement for everyone, the governments of relevant countries, policymakers, the multi-lateral and bi-lateral organizations, civil society institutions, the grass-root farmers as well as corporate leaders. Every IMIC attracts veterans, experts, and acclaimed researchers and academicians from various sectors to bring all possible issues and forthcoming solutions to the International Micro Irrigation Conference concerning the sector.

 

The theme of the 10th IMIC is “Micro-irrigation in the Era of Technology Innovation and Digital Transformation” and papers are invited under the following Sub-themes:

  1. Public Policies and the Promotion of Micro Irrigation: Lessons Learned
  2. Innovation in Micro-Irrigation Design and Technology to Improve Resilience to Climate Change
  3. Micro-Irrigation for Small-Scale Farming - Challenges, Opportunities and Initiatives
  4. Micro Irrigation to Promote the Nexus "Water - Energy - Food"
  5. Digital Transformation for the Management of Micro-Irrigation
  6. International Cooperation for the Development of Micro Irrigation
