Several dams across Morocco have recorded a notable rise in water levels following recent rainfall, marking an improvement in the country’s water resources over the past 24 hours.
According to data from the official water monitoring platform “Al Ma Dialna,” this increase comes at a crucial time, as dams play a key role in supplying water for irrigation, drinking purposes, and various sectors.
Among the dams that experienced substantial gains is Oued El Makhazine Dam, which saw an increase of 12.5 million cubic meters, bringing its filling level to 71%. Meanwhile, Al Wahda Dam recorded the largest increase, receiving 13.3 million cubic meters, with its current filling rate reaching 38.8%.
Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah Dam also registered an increase of 11.8 million cubic meters, raising its filling level to 44.3%. Ahmed El Hansali Dam gained 5.7 million cubic meters, though its filling percentage remains relatively low at 7.6%.
In contrast, Bin El Ouidane Dam saw an increase of 4.7 million cubic meters, but its storage level remains at just 6.4%. Dar Khrofa Dam received 2.7 million cubic meters, reaching a filling rate of 13.4%.
These figures highlight the crucial impact of rainfall on reinforcing Morocco’s water reserves, especially amid ongoing water scarcity challenges.
