Morocco’s dam reserves have risen sharply after spring rainfall, with total stored water reaching 12.89 billion cubic meters as of April 10, 2026, up from 6.42 billion a year earlier, according to data from the country’s hydraulic basin agencies.
National dam filling rates now exceed 74%, compared with about 38% at the same time in 2025, confirming a broad recovery in water resources after years of drought stress.
Recent inflows have strengthened levels at several key dams, including Idriss I in Taounate, now 93.4% full, Al Wahda at 86.4%, and Bin El Ouidane in Azilal at 94.6%, among the highest rates in the country.
But the recovery remains uneven. Al Massira, one of Morocco’s largest dams, is still only 36.3% full despite fresh inflows, while the Draa Oued Noun basin remains the most strained at 40.6%, underscoring persistent regional disparities.
