Moroccan dams’ supply noted a slight improvement in light of recent rains, as the filling rate moved to 32.9% as of this Friday.
The reserve for dam filling across the country has moved from 5 billion and 274 million cubic meters 15 days ago, to 5 billion and 303 million cubic meters today.
Despite this slight improvement, the drought crisis in Morocco is persistent, as the filling rates still have a long way to go before reaching last year’s numbers, where they settled at 50.9% with a reserve of 8 billion and 201 million cubic meters.
The deficit recorded in Morocco this year is described as “difficult” by competent authorities, considering their 16 billion and 122 million cubic meters capacity.
Nizar Baraka, Minister of Equipment and Water, previously warned of the danger of drought, revealing that “the share of water in Morocco per capita does not exceed 600 cubic meters annually, while the global average is estimated at 1,000 cubic meters per person,”
In some regions in Morocco, access to water does not even exceed 300 cubic meters per capita, said Baraka.
