Morocco's national dam filling rate has reached a significant 75.55% as of April 15, 2026, according to official data from the country's Ministry of Equipment and Water. This marks a dramatic improvement from the 39.44% recorded on the same date in 2025, representing an increase of over 36 percentage points.
The surge is attributed to abundant and well-distributed rainfall during the 2025-2026 hydrological year, which has replenished water reserves across the kingdom. The Al Wahda dam, the country's largest, is reported to be nearly full, contributing substantially to the national average.
This recovery comes after several years of severe drought that had critically depleted water resources, leading to agricultural strain and water usage restrictions. The improved reserves are expected to alleviate pressure on the agricultural sector and enhance water security for the coming months.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation and manage water releases, emphasizing the need for sustained rational water use despite the current positive reserves. The situation varies by region, with some basins showing higher filling rates than others.
