Current Water Reservoir Levels in the Sebou Basin
As of January 19, 2026, the water reservoir levels managed by the Sebou Hydraulic Basin Agency have reached 55.6%, according to data from the “Ma Dialna” platform of the Ministry of Equipment and Water.
Total Water Storage
The total volume of water held by the eleven main dams in the Sebou basin exceeds 3.088 billion cubic meters.
The Al Wahda dam, one of the most significant in the region, plays a strategic role in the irrigation of the Gharb region and in flood protection for the Oued Ouargha. This dam alone holds more than 2.090 billion cubic meters, with a filling rate of 59%, compared to 39% at the same time last year.
Importance of the Sebou Basin
The Sebou basin spans nearly 40,000 square kilometers and includes, in addition to the 11 major dams, 51 smaller dams and a retention lake.
This basin is among the most crucial in the Kingdom, greatly contributing to the irrigation of agricultural and industrial activities, thereby reinforcing its essential role in the national economy.
National Status of Dams
On a national level, the total water volume of major dams exceeds 8 billion cubic meters, with an average filling rate of 47.8%. This reflects a notable improvement in water resources compared to previous periods.
