Update
Recent rainfall in various regions of the kingdom has increased the water reservoir levels to 34.73%, equivalent to 5 billion and 821 million cubic meters.
Updated data from the Ministry of Equipment and Water indicates a disparity in water levels across the country’s dams. Some medium and small dams have reached full capacity, while major dams have not exceeded 25% of their capacity.
In the Loukkos basin, the filling rate of the Oued Makhzen dam has reached 81.09%, with more than 545 million cubic meters stored, while the filling rate of the Dar Khroufa dam stands at 79.32%.
Dams in the Sebou basin have recorded significant filling rates compared to last year, with the Unity dam, the largest in Morocco, at 44.16%, holding 1 billion and 555 million cubic meters, while the Idris I dam holds less than 400 million cubic meters. Most other dams in the region have filling rates of less than half.
In the Am El Rbi basin, the Al-Masira dam continues to struggle with a filling rate of only 3.4%, holding around 91.44 million cubic meters out of a capacity of 2 billion and 656 million cubic meters.
Moving to the Abirqraq basin, the filling rate of the Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah dam is 82.88%, while the Tamansa dam has a filling rate of only 24.22%, resulting in total water resources of 848 million cubic meters across the basin’s dams.
Filling rates in the Souss-Massa basin reveal a clear shortfall, with the Mohammed Mokhtar Soussi dam at 10.61%, Imi Kheng at 14.58%, and the Yusuf Ibn Tashfin dam at 13.13%. These figures contrast with those recorded in the Ziz-Khir-Gres and Draa-Oued Noun basins.
