Recent rainfall in Morocco has significantly improved water reserves, according to data released by the Ministry of Equipment and Water.
As of February 11, 2025, the water storage in Moroccan dams reached 4.715 billion cubic meters, up from 4.066 billion cubic meters on the same date in 2024, marking an increase of 649.83 million cubic meters. The fill rate of the dams also rose to 28%, compared to 25.22% last year.
This increase in water storage will help support essential water resources for both drinking water and irrigation. For the first time in several years, drinking water has surpassed irrigation in terms of resource allocation, with 54% of dam water being directed towards potable water and 46% for irrigation in the 2023-2024 period.
Recent rains have notably benefited various basins, with Bouregreg, Tensift, Oum Er-Rbia, and Guir-Ziz-Rheris experiencing improved water levels. However, some regions, like the Chaouia region’s Al Massira Dam, continue to face significant water deficits. As weather conditions improve and rainfall continues, further increases in water reserves are expected, bolstering Morocco’s water security.
