Morocco has seen a return of rainfall after seven years of drought, with dam levels rising to 35%. Despite some improvement, the water crisis continues, especially in central and southern regions. Experts urge for long-term management strategies amid a history of drought patterns in the country.
Heavy rainfall has recently returned to Morocco after a prolonged seven-year drought, leading to improved dam levels countrywide. Official statistics reveal dam filling rates rising from 26% last year to approximately 35%. However, this is significantly lower than the 68% recorded in 2018, indicating that the water crisis persists, particularly in central and southern regions that did not benefit as much from the rainfall.
In summary, while recent rains have provided temporary relief and improved dam levels in Morocco, experts emphasize that the underlying structural issues related to water resource management remain unaddressed. A long-term strategy focusing on sustainable usage rather than short-term gains is crucial for resolving the chronic water challenges faced by the country.
