Morocco marks major recovery in dams as filling rate hits 70%
The water reserve volume in the dams reached approximately 11.69 billion cubic meters out of a total capacity estimated at around 17.03 billion cubic meters. The post Morocco marks major recovery in dams as filling rate hits 70% appeared first on KBC Digital .
Morocco has experienced a significant improvement in its dam storage capabilities, with the overall filling rate reaching 68.66%, according to recent data from the "Maa Dialna" platform. The water reserve volume in dams now stands at around 11.69 billion cubic meters, up from a mere 34.54% just a year ago. This represents a 34 percentage point increase year-on-year, a clear sign of positive progress in the country's water situation.
The Tensift basin continues to lead the nation in filling rate at 82.99%, while the Sebou basin follows closely in second place at 81.67%. Despite this progress, continued careful water management is crucial given the increasing demand and regional rainfall disparities. Future dam storage levels will depend on rainfall, water inflows, consumption rates, and sustainability measures.
