The Al Massira Dam, Morocco's second-largest reservoir, has reached a filling rate of approximately 33% as of late March 2026. This marks a significant recovery for the critical water source located on the Oum Er-Rbia River, which had previously suffered from severe drought conditions.
The dam's improved water levels are attributed to recent rainfall across the region. The Oum Er-Rbia basin is a crucial water system for the country, supporting agriculture, drinking water supplies, and industry in central Morocco.
While the current level represents positive progress, water resource management remains a long-term challenge for Morocco in the face of climate variability. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and implement water conservation strategies.
