Since the start of the current hydrological season on September 1, 2025, water reservoirs across the country’s major river basins have collected a total of 1.77 billion cubic meters of water, according to official figures.
The government’s online platform “Maadialna,” managed by the Ministry of Equipment and Water, reports that these numbers reflect a significant influx of water resources so far this season. Notably, the majority of that volume—roughly 1.35 billion cubic meters—was captured between December 12 and the date of the report. That means over 76% of this season’s water inflow was concentrated in just a few weeks, underlining how sharply the rain and runoff have been packed into a short time span.
Despite this rapid accumulation, only a small portion of the water—about 80.2 million cubic meters—was discharged into the sea during this period. That represents just 5.9% of the total collected in reservoirs since December 12. The discharges were distributed unevenly among the various river basins, depending on local conditions and capacity.
The Sebou basin recorded the highest volume of released water, with 29.1 million cubic meters, followed by the Oum Er-Rbia basin at 26.5 million. The Loukkos basin received 9.7 million cubic meters, while Tensift followed with 7.5 million. Smaller volumes were recorded in Souss-Massa (3.5 million), Bouregreg (3 million), and Moulouya (0.9 million).
“Maadialna” emphasized that these discharge figures point to a relatively low percentage of water lost to the sea, suggesting that most of the rainfall and runoff has been effectively retained within the country’s water infrastructure.
