King Mohammed VI inaugurated the "Moulay Abderrahmane" dam, built on the Ksoub wadi for a total budget of 920 million dirhams.

The filling rate of the main Moroccan dams stood at 42% this year, i.e. a water availability of 7.2 billion m3, compared to more than 62.5% for 9.44 billion m3.

Soon, in the Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceima region, the Béni Mansour Hydraulic Complex will be built. This project, presented in April 2016 before King Mohammed VI, is part of the 2019-2020 National Priority Program on Water and its Management.

Morocco is preparing to build a total of 15 dams, at a rate of three per year, for the period 2017-2021. This announcement was made official in the House of Representatives by the Head of Government, El Otmani, during his monthly intervention.
