Morocco’s dams have received a significant boost in water reserves, with 780 million cubic meters of water flowing into them between August 22nd and October 14th, 2024.
This influx has revitalized the dams, ensuring a secure water supply for drinking purposes in several regions and significantly replenished groundwater reserves.
The largest share of this water inflow, 246.47 million cubic meters, went to five dams within the Malouia basin. The Guir Ziz Rheris basin received 147.62 million cubic meters across four dams, while the Drâa-Oued Noun basin saw 181.51 million cubic meters flow into its four dams during the same period. This inflow has secured drinking water for the next two years in the provinces of Zagoura and Ouarzazate.
The recent rainfall experienced in Morocco over the past two months has significantly eased water shortages, especially in the eastern and southeastern regions. These rains and water inflows have helped to replenish groundwater reserves that were severely depleted after six consecutive years of drought.
