Professional Women and Water Management: Case Study from

Abstract: Globally, the issue of water management and women has thus far been almost exclusively focused on women responsible for the provision and management of water at the household and commu-nity levels. Their presence and contributions at the managerial and decision-making levels have re-ceived little attention in the past. The present paper focuses on the role women play, and can play, in the planning, management, and operation of water resources systems in Morocco. Based on this analysis, it appears to be a matter of education, training, personal choice, and time before more women will work professionally in the water-related institutions in Morocco, and also obtain more positions at the higher levels
