Morocco's dam water reserves continue to rise as summer approaches. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Equipment and Water, as of May 18, 2026, the total volume stored in the country's dams reached nearly 13 billion cubic meters, with an overall filling rate of 76%.
This marks a significant improvement compared to the same date in 2025, when the filling rate stood at 40.1%. The increase is attributed to above-average rainfall during the winter and spring seasons, which helped replenish reservoirs after several years of drought.
The rise in water levels is expected to ease concerns about water shortages during the hot summer months, particularly for agricultural irrigation and drinking water supply in urban areas. However, authorities continue to urge responsible water usage as climate variability remains a challenge.
