Recent rainfall across several regions of Morocco has improved the country’s water reserves toward the end of 2025, according to data published by the Ministry of Equipment and Water on its Maa Dialna platform.

National dam filling rates have reached 38 percent, representing total reserves of about 6.38 billion cubic meters, the data show.

The Abou Regreg basin recorded the highest filling rate at 87.7 percent, with nearly 950 million cubic meters stored. The Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah dam within the basin reached 92 percent capacity. The Loukkos basin followed with a 56.9 percent filling rate, supported by full capacity levels at several dams.

Despite a moderate filling rate of 46.5 percent, the Sebou basin remains the largest contributor by volume, holding about 2.59 billion cubic meters, including more than 1.7 billion at the Al Wahda dam.

Southern basins continue to face pressure, with Souss Massa at 23 percent and Oum Er Rbia at 12.9 percent. Authorities said disparities between regions underline the need for cautious water management
