morocco changed several times, but there was something that always remain same. on the one hand, they emphasized that farmers should follow watering models for their farms and on the other hand, the level of underground water kept diminishing. gradually... the water crisis reared its head in the country. the government sough implement plans to prevent the crisis and drought, but even in those plans, the central issue was to establish costly infrastructure to ultimately use even more water resources in morocco. they only increased the country's dependence on foreign loans. conservative moroccan governments did their best to stabilize the situation. without any fundamental change in the country's economy so they wouldn't lose the european customers of their agricultural products. the only thing that didn't change was the rising level of water scarcity and drying up of the underground water resources. the consequences of the crisis that had been triggered, as many had warned, were finally evident in people's lives. it imposed water scarcity to the areas. near the de

in 2019, over 13 million tourists visited different parts of morocco.ikely. 40% of the people in morocco are engaged in agriculture. it is the largest job creator in the country and employs the largest number of workforce. in the rainy northwestern part. the country, barley, wheat and other grains can be cultivated without watering the harvest. different kinds of citruss and vegetables are grown in the vast plains of morocco on the atlantic coast. moroccans have turned to deep wells to grow the products that require large amounts of water. the deep wells are dog to extract sweet water whose reserves in the heart of the desert are running. out from 1980 to mid-2010, morocco used over 70% of non-renewable water resources for agriculture. the statistics showed that it will fall below the abdict drout line until the mid 2020s. but why would officials opt for products that require a lot of water, while they're aware that the country is located in desert and spiding water has always been a major challenge. in the beginning of the 19th century, europe had beco

morocco is not a high seismic region.t was considered moderate, a very large earthquake a century ago. the problem is the earthquake is very strong and the buildings are very weak. most of them are built with stone that make them vulnerable to earthquakes. this is the combination of the earthquake and the weakness of the buildings. anchor: what about the situation in marrakech, a big city with one million people? from an engineering perspective, were the structures in a better position to withstand a big earthquake like this? anastastios: not necessarily. first of all, when there is lack of awareness, there is no preparedness. this applies to everyone, from the legislative framework, political control, type of construction. marrakech is a big city, which means exposure is higher, more people and more buildings to collapse. anchor: when you are talking about a building being seismically safe, it is expensive. as morocco looks to rebuild, are the relatively low cost ways to engineer buildings in a better way so the damage i

building regulations in morocco.rom what you have seen thus far in the reporting and the aftermath of this earthquake in morocco, the structures that have been built in these very romo and rur -- very remote and rural areas, have they been built in a way that they can withstand such tremors? martin: we must not forget that many of these buildings are probably older than 1960, or built shortly after. and so, these rules, the new building code might have been in place, but not necessarily applied yet to these structures. in particular if we look at the classic building style of mudbrick housing, these adobe constructions with wooden reinforcement in between, which is the traditional building style, that obviously is not according to modern earthquake safety standards. but houses that have been built -- mohammed: i am sorry, go ahead, i did not mean to interrupt you. martin: more recent housing, concrete, what really matters is this is reinforced internally. so if this has not happened, then of course the buildings are

there is a rift between morocco and france. one of the things that has happened is morocco has not accepted offers of help from france. if an agency or to be set up in the future that would try to deal with a global emergency, natural disasters, would politics still be as problematic as they are today? would an agency of this nature need to have autonomy and authority to be able to step in and help a country automatically , rather than have to seek its permission? zaid: i will extend my condolences to those we lost in libya and morocco. you are spot on, there are issues with regard to an autonomy -- two autonomy with that entity. it is extraordinary how france has chosen a moment of national crisis to play geopolitics. unfortunately it is only emmanuel macron who has himself to blame for the relations. morocco was his first country that he visited as president, but he has damaged relationships he had in that part of the world. with regards to morocco, the response has been telling of a country that has changed gear. it is able

, how does our fault system set us up here for big ones compared to morocco ? >> well, the incredible thing is that the rate of earthquakes in the bay area, earthquakes of this size is 100 times higher than it is in morocco. and what i mean by that is, if we were to replay this experiment at a hundred times, just watching the high atlas mountains of morocco and watching the bay area, 999 times out of 100, the earthquake would strike the bay area and only once would it strike morocco. so this enormous difference in our earthquake rate is, is a result of the fact that in morocco earthquakes occur because as africa and arabia are in a slow mo crash into europe, into southern europe. whereas where we live, we're right on a plate boundary that is moving much faster, 50 times faster, and the plates are moving past each other, but they do kind of a bump and grind in the process. got it. >> so really it is much more likely for us to get something of that size than morocco. nonetheless, it happened there. and when you look at the devastation there, i think, oh my gosh,
