Morocco’s Ministry of Equipment, Transport, Logistics, and Water announced on Monday that Moroccan dams have reached a filling rate of about 34.3%.
Despite recent rainfall, the Ministry stated that current levels of water in Morocco’s dams are lower compared to last year, but said it is satisfied with the recent rainfalls that helped fill Morocco’s dams, following fears of a drought agricultural season.
“The Al Wahda dam is the largest reservoir with a volume reaching a filling rate of 57.7%, against 74.5% a year before,” the ministry noted in a statement.
Last month, King Mohamed VI launched a 10 billion dirhams program that aims at mitigating the effects of the delayed rainfall, alleviating the impact on agricultural activity, and assist affected farmers and herders.
Furthermore, the ministry announced that it had allocated MAD 2.42 billion for the 2021-2022 emergency plan to secure the drinking water supply across the country.
