Being an important sector in the development of Moroccan economy, the agriculture water consumption reaches 85% of its resources. This huge percentage is leading to an important use of energy to pump water. The water pumping situation of Morocco is almost unknown or not clear given the lack of studies in this context. For this reason, the present work is aiming at the presentation of water pumping in Morocco in general and solar pumping in particular. The first analysis conducted has shown that solar pumping market in Morocco has seen a significant increase over the last years against the use of wind energy. In parallel with this development, the use of butane gas for pumping water in irrigation has increased after the cessation of the subsidy of diesel and gasoline. The survey conducted has shown an encouraging future of the use of solar pumping in Morocco and it has helped in determining the average of many parameters related to this field.
