Morocco tests flood preparedness
The article discusses the preparations made by authorities in northern Morocco to face rising water levels caused by rainfall during the upcoming rainy season, especially in the provinces of Al Aarache and the nearby city of Ksar El Kebir. Tests have been conducted to assess the readiness of the Wadi Makhzen Dam and to manage water release operations, with its reservoir currently at 67% capacity, approximately 468 million cubic meters. This is a significant level following the previous flood crisis that led to extensive flooding and the evacuation of more than 48,000 people. The preparations also include projects to protect the Lekkous River basin from floods, such as conducting studies and implementing preventive plans, aiming to reduce potential risks and disasters during heavy rains.
