As Moha Oufane, another nomad, said to me: \u201c<\/span>Water is everything. It&#8217;s the most important thing for us. We can buy food and feed livestock with what&#8217;s left in the mountains or by going into debt, but water can&#8217;t be bought. It&#8217;s priceless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Water shortages are disrupting traditional pastoral routes, forcing families to give up nomadism or put themselves at risk. In the past, the year would be structured around a well-defined nomadic pattern: summer months were devoted to Agdal-to-Imilchil, while winter months were spent on the Errachidia side, with a return to Assoul (a village in Tinghir) and the surrounding area when the cold set in.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:200,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Today, this traditional route no longer exists.

According to Moha, <\/span>some accumulated debts of nearly 30,000 dh ($3,000) between October 2023 and January 2024<span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201d.
