Description
English: Drought continues to plague Morocco, causing a severe water deficit in its reservoirs. According to the country’s General Directorate of Hydraulics, on 14 June 2022 the overall reservoir fill rate stood at only 31.8%, 17% less than in 2021. In addition, several reservoirs had a residual water capacity of less than 10%. These images, acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 21 June 2017 (left) and 15 June 2022 (right), show the effects of water scarcity at the Al Massira reservoir, the second largest in the country, that is currently at 6.3% of its total capacity.
