Dam reserves across Morocco’s Souss Massa region reached 406.089 million cubic meters as of Wednesday, lifting the overall fill rate to 54.8 percent, the Souss Massa Hydraulic Basin Agency said.

The agency said the figures mark a notable improvement from the same period in 2025, when the region faced a rainfall deficit after consecutive drought years. Recent precipitation helped strengthen reserves at key water infrastructure sites, it added.

Ahl Souss dam stood at 99.4 percent, holding 4.631 million cubic meters, while Youssef Ben Tachfine reached 49.7 percent with 148.300 million cubic meters, the agency said.

Imi Lkheng stored 5.887 million cubic meters, or 60.3 percent, and Aoulouz reached 89.070 million cubic meters, or 100.1 percent.

Mokhtar Soussi held 4.220 million cubic meters, or 10.06 percent, while Dkhila stored 0.141 million cubic meters, or 70.5 percent.

Moulay Abdellah reached 89.490 million cubic meters, or 98.8 percent, and Abdelmoumen dam in Taroudant stood at 56.637 million cubic meters, or 28.5 percent, the agency said.
