Morocco's Dam Filling Rate Reaches 29.08%
The current evolution of water reserves is explained by better-distributed rainfall earlier in the year, contrasting with the prolonged drought that severely affected hydraulic stocks in 2023 and 2024. However, despite this relative improvement, the overall level remains well below the averages recorded a decade ago.
The volume of water stored in Morocco's dams stands at 4,896.42 million cubic meters, representing a filling rate of 29.08%, according to official data published on Monday, March 10. This capacity marks an increase of 0.42 percentage points compared to the previous day.
The evolution of water reserves follows a contrasting trajectory compared to recent years. In March 2024, the reserves did not exceed 25.63%, a historically low level. For comparison, the filling rate stood at 32.8% at the same time in 2023 and 34.6% in 2022.
Despite this slight recent improvement, resources remain below the averages recorded at the beginning of the decade. The situation highlights the crucial challenge of water management in a context marked by irregular rainfall and increasing pressure on strategic reserves.
According to published data, the country's dams contained a total of 4,825.53 million cubic meters of water, corresponding to an overall filling rate of 28.65%.
To put these figures in perspective, on the same date the previous year, March 10, 2024, reserves stood at 4,132.03 million cubic meters, with a filling rate of 25.63%. This increase of 693.5 million cubic meters and 3.02 percentage points in one year reflects a notable improvement in the country's water resources.
