Join on Telegram Rabat – Morocco’s dams now hold 7.123 billion cubic meters of water, filling 42.5% of the country’s total storage, according to the MaaDialna water information platform.
Recent rainfall has lifted water levels across several key basins, though conditions remain uneven.
The Bouregreg basin approaches full capacity at 93.6%, storing 1.013 billion cubic meters, while the Oum Rabiaa basin lags behind at 15.7%, or 782.2 million cubic meters.
Other regions show moderate gains. The Loukkous basin contains 1.183 billion cubic meters, equivalent to 61.9% of its capacity, and the Sebou basin holds 2.845 billion cubic meters, representing 51.2%.
The Tensift basin records 65.3% with 148.5 million cubic meters, while Moulouya and Souss‑Massa sit at 32.5% and 41.7%, respectively.
In the south, the Drâa‑Oued Noun basin holds 310.5 million cubic meters (29.6%), while the Guir-Ziz-Rheris basin reaches 56.2% with 302.1 million cubic meters.
The figures reflect a welcome recovery of Morocco’s water reserves after a dry period, though large disparities between basins highlight the ongoing challenge of managing water resources across the country.
Morocco’s recent rainfall has brought a measure of relief after years of drought, allowing water reserves to recover in several regions.
While the rains do not erase the structural pressure on water resources, they have eased the immediate strain on dams, agriculture, and drinking water supply, especially in basins that had reached critical levels.
The improvement offers breathing space for authorities and farmers alike, even as long-term scarcity, climate uncertainty, and uneven regional distribution continue to shape the country’s water outlook.
