Several provinces and regions in southeastern Morocco have experienced heavy rainfall over the past few days, leading to a slight increase in dam filling rates by approximately 1%.
According to data published on the “Maadialna” platform, dam filling rates in Morocco have slightly increased to 27.7%, compared to 27.5% last year, following recent thunderstorms.
The El Mansour Eddahbi Dam in Ouarzazate particularly benefited from these rains, receiving 7.23 million cubic meters of water in a single night. This water reserve is expected to contribute to securing drinking water supplies and irrigation for agricultural lands in the region.
Despite recently receiving 72 million cubic meters of water, the El Mansour Eddahbi Dam’s filling rate remains at 16.2%, similar to last year’s level.
The same source indicated that while the heavy rains in recent days have had a positive impact, the persistent drought over the past six consecutive years continues to affect the region. It’s worth noting that the provinces experiencing these recent rains include Errachidia, Midelt, Ouarzazate, Beni Mellal, Tinghir, and Smara.
Although this slight increase is welcome, the water situation in Morocco remains a concern. Authorities continue to monitor water levels in dams and implement strategies for effective water resource management in the face of ongoing climate challenges.
This modest improvement in dam levels highlights the ongoing water management challenges in Morocco, emphasizing the need for continued efforts in water conservation and sustainable resource management across the country.
