Recent rainfalls have revived Moroccan dams after last year’s drought, but this slight recovery does not see the government slowing down on its anti water waste campaign.
Experts and specialists stress that current precipitations do not mean that Morocco is overcoming the water crisis.
As of Sunday, Moroccan dams registered a 30.43% filling rate with a total estimated four billion 905.88 million cubic meters.
Late September’s reserves were estimated at 3 billion and 944.7 million cubic meters with a total capacity of 16 billion and 122.6 million cubic meters.
Despite the positive weather conditions, the country has not even reached the same level as last year, November 2021, when dams had reached 5,636 million cubic meters, with a filling rate of 35%.
Going back to today’s figures, the Loqos Basin is first in terms of a filling ratio of 54.94% with a reserve of 945.93 million cubic meters.
The Western Sbou bassin is second with an estimated filling rate of 46.58%, a reserve of 2 billion, and 587.26 million cubic meters.
The third is the Tandift Basin with a filling rate of 42.45% and a reserve of 96.48 million cubic meters.
Lastly, the Bouregreg Basin registered a filling rate of up to 30.32% and a reserve of 328.11 million cubic meters.
Despite these promising results, the Moroccan government and water authorities are maintaining a strong awareness campaign, to counter water waste in homes.
Through radio shows, to channels and social media, water authorities are attempting to raise awareness on the ongoing water shortage in Morocco.
