The Sebou basin has surpassed a 50% filling rate, with over 2.78 billion cubic meters of water stored, making the Sebou basin the leading reservoir in Morocco, ahead of those in Loukkos and Bouregreg.

The Sebou basin, which has a total storage capacity of 5.55 billion cubic meters, now holds the largest amount of water in the country. The Loukkos basin follows with 1.1 billion cubic meters, while the Bouregreg holds over 636 million cubic meters.

According to the Ministry of Equipment and Water, four of the eleven major dams in the Sebou basin have filling rates above 60%, including Bouhouda (100%), Allal El Fassi (97.62%), Garde Sebou (97.25%), and Bab Louta (61.33%).

Nationally, reservoir levels have reached over 6.32 billion cubic meters, marking a 2-billion-cubic-meter increase compared to the same period last year. The Sebou basin, with its 11 major dams, plays a crucial role in the kingdom’s agricultural and industrial economy.
