This reservoir represents an improvement compared to the 23.2% rate recorded at the end of January, thanks to significant rainfall in several regions of the Kingdom in February and March and snowmelt.

With a 0.36% increase from the previous day, the Sebou basin shows a filling rate of 49.82%, mainly due to a 0.48% increase in the storage of the AlWahda dam, the largest in Morocco, with a filling rate of 57.43%, and the Idriss 1st dam, which recorded a filling rate of 25.53%, up 0.19% from the previous day.

As for the Loukkos basin, which has a filling rate of 63.03%, it improved by 0.23% from the previous day, mainly due to a 0.53% increase in the Oued El Makhazine dam storage at 93.6% and a slight increase in the Dar Khroufa dam storage at 29.85%.

Regarding the Oum Er Rbia basin, its storage saw a slight improvement of 0.05% to reach a filling rate of 7.19%, resulting from a 0.17% increase in the Bin El Ouidan dam, the third largest dam in Morocco, with a filling rate of 9.16%, and the Al Massira dam (second largest dam), with a 0.12% increase from the previous day, displaying a filling rate of 2.2%.
