The central services of the Ministry of Equipment and Water are working at a sustained pace to complete the work on the small “Tagousht” dam, in the province of Errachidia, while time is running out to complete the project.
According to available data, this dam is part of a group of major dams being built in the zone of influence of the Ker Ziz Grace Water Basin Agency, in application of royal directives calling for accelerating the pace of construction of dams to meet drinking and irrigation water needs, in addition to protecting residents and their properties from the dangers of flooding.
The same data indicates that the progress rate of the construction works of the “Tagousht” dam, located in the community of Haut Farkala, province of Errachidia, has exceeded 96%, since its storage capacity is approximately 0, 8 million cubic meters.
This dam, whose construction cost amounts to 24.3 million dirhams, aims to develop local water resources, to ensure the supply of drinking water and the supply of livestock, in addition to supplying the bed of water and protect the surrounding area from the dangers of flooding.
Recent rains in the Errachidia region have helped improve the capacity of the dam, increasing its readiness ahead of construction work.
