Recent rainfall boosts Moroccan dam reserves
Monday 26 August 2024 - 18:41

Recent rainfall across Morocco has led to a slight increase in dam water levels, according to the Ministry of Equipment and Water. As of Sunday, August 25, dam reserves stood at 27.7%, up from 27.5% during the same period last year.

Heavy rainfall in the southeastern regions of the Kingdom over the past two days has played a particularly crucial role in improving dam reserves. The filling rate of dams nationwide now exceeds 27.7%, compared to 27.5% in 2023.

The Drâa-Tafilalet region has been a primary beneficiary of the recent rainfall, with an additional 8 million cubic meters of water collected in the Hassan Eddakhil, Toudgha, Kaddoussa, and Timkit dams.

In just one night, the Mansour Eddahbi dam in Ouarzazate province recorded nearly 7.23 million cubic meters of rainfall. This substantial volume will ensure a reliable drinking water supply and support irrigation efforts in nearby agricultural areas.

Several other provinces, including Errachidia, Midelt, Beni Mellal, Tinghir, and Es-Smara, have also experienced significant rainfall in recent days, contributing to the overall improvement in dam reserves.
