Recent rainfall across Morocco has boosted the country’s water reserves, marking a hopeful shift amid a years-long drought.
As of April 21, 2025, dam filling levels reached 40.08%, equivalent to 6.71 billion cubic meters, Morocco’s highest since September 2021.
This is a 7% increase (1.4 billion m³) compared to the same time last year.
Morocco has faced an unprecedented water crisis since 2018, straining agriculture and rural communities. In response, the government has launched several initiatives, including stricter control of illegal water use, modernized irrigation systems, desalination projects, and the National Program for Drinking Water Supply and Irrigation (2020–2027).
The Sebou basin saw the largest water increase, with over 922 million m³ added, followed by Loukkos (+328 million), Oum Er-Rbia (+315 million), and Bouregreg (+248 million). Despite gains, some basins, like Moulouya, saw only slight improvements, highlighting ongoing challenges in achieving water security.
