Selon les données disponibles, ces mesures font suite à des prévisions officielles annonçant de fortes précipitations, parfois orageuses, attendues au cours des prochaines heures et des prochains jours, concomitamment à une forte agitation de la mer susceptible de perturber l’évacuation des eaux de l’Oued Loukkos, ainsi qu’à la programmation de nouvelles opérations de lâchers du barrage d’Oued El Makhazine, qui a enregistré un taux de remplissage exceptionnel ces derniers jours.

According to available data, these measures come in response to official forecasts predicting heavy rainfall, sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms, expected over the coming hours and days, alongside severe sea conditions that may hinder the drainage of the Loukkos River, as well as the scheduling of new discharge operations from the Oued El Makhazine dam, which has recorded exceptionally high filling levels in recent days.
