The stocks of dams continue to increase in Morocco, in the midst of a disparity between the water pools

Damage to dams in Morocco experienced a remarkable improvement because the total filling rate today, Thursday, was 37.84%, which is equivalent to 6,372.08 million cubic meters of stored water, according to official data.

This increase reflects a clear improvement compared to the same day of last year, because the filling rate did not exceed 26.84%, with a stock of water of 4,327.47 million cubic meters; This means an increase of 11%, which is equivalent to an increase in the stock of water by approximately 2,044.61 million cubic meters in one year.

This improvement is due to more regular precipitation compared to previous years, as well as efforts to rationalize water consumption and water resources management more effectively. However, the need remains urgent to more measures to ensure the sustainability of water resources, in particular in the light of the challenges of climate change and the increase in water demand.

The water basins witness a remarkable improvement despite the disparities between them. According to data, the Lukos basin exports the list of the most complete ponds of 61.63%, followed by 59.03%of the Abi Raqraq basin, then the Tansift basin with 54.59%. While Ziz Kiir Grace, SPO and Molwa Ponds recorded 52.84%, 50.75%and 40.83%, respectively.

On the other hand, the NUN Souss Massa and Wadi shield came at relatively low levels, at 22.26%and 30.93%, while the UMM AL -RABI basin recorded the lowest percentage of 10.45%, which raises concerns about the availability of water resources in areas that depend on this basin.

This disparity reflects the effect of climatic factors, in particular the drop in precipitation, on water resources in Morocco, because water management has become a major challenge in the light of high demand and increased pressure on dams.

In recent years, Morocco has suffered from frequent droughts which greatly affect water and agriculture, threatening food and economic security in the country. This drought is due to a group of factors, including climate change that have caused serious fluctuations in the rain, as well as the lack of fall in certain continuous regions. The water shortage is a major challenge in the light of the great dependence on the agricultural sector, which is one of the most important pillars of the national economy.
