Morocco is one of the countries most affected by the scarcity of water resources and the poor distribution of rainfall. Natural lagoon is the most widely used treatment process in Morocco. Indeed, Morocco is a sunny country throughout the year. The lagoon system requires minimal effort in operation and maintenance. Moreover, this system is the best process for removing bacteria indicators. For these reasons, a study of the purification performance of natural lagoons during five years, located in Chichaoua region (Morocco) was carried out. The lagoon system was monitored for five years, with measurements taken every three months at the input and output of the system. It received a hydraulic loading rate (HLR) between 1171 and 2760 m3 with an average of 2053 m3/day. The obtained results show the removal of 37% of TSS, 63% of BOD5, 60% of COD, 61% of NH4+, 37% of TP, and 6.5 log units of coliforms during the mentioned monitoring period. Thus, the effluent values do not always comply with the Moroccan water quality requirement for irrigation reuse. Additionally, the statistical analyses confirm the presence of a strong linear correlation between almost all variables in the lagoon output. Therefore, the performance efficiency of the lagoon in removing organic matter and nutrients was significantly (p < 0.05) dependent on the season. However, the fecal contamination was not significantly (p > 0.05) affected by the seasons in this study. At the end of this study a complementary treatment before the reuse of treated wastewater, was proposed.

The wastewater treatment plant of Settat city uses the natural lagooning technology, which requires low maintenance cost and little technical expertise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of plant performance during two years of operation (2019 and 2020), as well as the safety of its treated wastewater for reuse in agricultural irrigation. The results of this study show that the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and suspended solids (SS) did not exceed the Moroccan standards for discharge. They also show a good stable pollutant load reduction with a mean of 86.44%, 86.89% and 74.61%, for BOD5, COD and SS, respectively. On the other hand, microbiological characterization classifies the treated wastewater as "B" quality water, because the fecal coliform numbers exceed the requirement for "A" quality (1000 CFU/100 ml).
