Recent rainfall in Morocco has brought much-needed relief, particularly to farmers, livestock owners, and others reliant on water resources. While the rains do not fully resolve the water crisis, they offer a significant boost. Reservoir levels have risen to 32.3%, up from 26.5% in 2024.

The Al Wahda Dam in Taounate saw a major increase, adding 60.7 million cubic meters, reaching 43.9% capacity. Similarly, the Oued El Makhazine Dam in Larache reached 83.4% capacity after an increase of 24.9 million cubic meters.

In the Oriental region, the Mohammed V Dam rose by 19 million cubic meters, reaching 61.4%. Nationally, Morocco’s total water reserves now stand at 5.44 billion cubic meters, a 27.3% increase compared to last year. While the rains have improved the situation, continued efforts for sustainable water management are essential for the future.
