Morocco's national dam water reserves have surpassed 13 billion cubic meters, according to the latest official data. This represents a significant increase compared to the same period last year, when reserves were critically low due to a prolonged drought.
The improvement is attributed to recent rainfall and snowfall in the Atlas Mountains during the winter and early spring of 2026. The Ministry of Equipment and Water has reported that the national filling rate of dams has now reached approximately 35.5%.
Despite this positive development, water stress remains a major concern for the North African kingdom. Authorities continue to urge citizens to practice water conservation, as the country's long-term water security strategy relies heavily on dam infrastructure and desalination projects.
The situation varies by region, with some dams in the north and northwest of the country reporting higher filling rates, while others in the south and east remain at lower levels. The government's hydrological monitoring indicates that while the current season has brought relief, it may not fully compensate for the accumulated deficit from previous dry years.
