Morocco’s dams are 46.03% full as of Monday, holding approximately 7.72 billion cubic meters of water, up from 28.31% at the same time last year, according to the Ministry of Equipment and Water.
Data from the ministry’s “Morocco Dams” platform show significant variations across river basins. The Bouregreg basin recorded the highest fill rate at 94.98%, with water reserves of about 1.03 billion cubic meters. The Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah Dam alone reached 99.25% capacity.
The Tensift basin reached 71.33%, holding 162.13 million cubic meters of water, while the Loukkos basin stood at 62.89%, with reserves of 1.20 billion cubic meters.
In the Sebou basin, dam levels reached 54.81%, supported by substantial water inflows, particularly from Bab Louta, Allal El Fassi, and Bouhouda dams, amounting to roughly 3.04 billion cubic meters.
Southern and central basins remained relatively low. The Draa-Oued Noun basin registered a 29.83% fill rate, with 312.66 million cubic meters of water, while the Oum Er-Rbia basin stood at 20.8%, holding about 1.03 billion cubic meters.
The figures reflect a marked recovery in Morocco’s water storage compared with last year, although significant disparities persist between northern and southern regions.
