“…It is a set of guidelines whose operational uses are humans adapting to and dealing with specific environments [ 37 ]. The sanitation development problem is a socio-cultural challenge [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. The cause is the community behavior accustomed to defecating in any place and throwing garbage into the river [ 42 ].…”

In Morocco, reuse of treated wastewater can reduce the negative effects of drought in the agricultural sector. However, it is necessary to adopt a sustainable sanitation in order to reduce the risk of this type of water on public health and environment. This new sanitation concept is based on the principle of separation, recovery and reuse of wastewater and taking in consideration the social, economic, environmental, and institutional of the local conditions. The aim of this article is: to give the main results of a survey conducted in 2017 at Dayet Ifrah village which housed the first pilot ecological sanitation project in Morocco concerning appreciation and attitude of the population towards this new system of sanitation; and on the other hand to study the efficiency of a pilot scale system composed on three filters used to treat domestic wastewater coming from a single house in Meknes. In general, ecological sanitation is appreciated by the population of the village and showed its effectiveness to improve sanitation in Moroccan context. The pilot scale system proved his effectiveness to trait organic pollution and nutrients, faecal pollution and parasites.

“…Equally, the impacts in rural areas risk influencing the economic, social, and environmental potential [2]. Therefore, Land 2024, 13, 482 2 of 19 more research is needed, mainly in the North African areas, known for the dominance of rural lands [17,18]. This research needs to focus on the estimation of the degradation of rural aspects, such as villages, buildings, landscapes, and architecture, and their effects on the economic and social potential of these zones (i.e., tourism and agriculture).…”

This study aimed to investigate the changes in the landscapes and land cover in the villages of the Ziz Valley from 1965 to 2023. Equally, we evaluated the potential of sustainable tourism in these rural regions with a SWOT analysis. The obtained results showed that the landscapes were deeply changed, with a dominance of farmlands and the appearance of the Ziz reservoir. Rural villages near Errachidia were replaced after the flood of 1965. Errachidia’s urbanization increased by 400% and overflowed into certain villages, while the availability of water encouraged the rise of farms. The villages near the city became urbanized, resulting in the development of business zones and tourism destinations that offered the locals bright futures. In contrast to cluster A, the SWOT analysis reveals that strengths exceed vulnerabilities in cluster B and C villages. Despite the alteration of ancient and natural landscapes, the potential for rural tourism appears to be stronger in the villages included in clusters B and C.
