In the past few days, various regions of Morocco have experienced significant precipitation that has reinforced hope for peasants after drought that has negatively affected the agricultural season.

These rains, which occurred in February, are a sacrifice for many cultures, in particular the pills threatened by the water shortage in recent weeks.

February rains are decisive in the growth of agricultural crops, in particular wheat and barley, because it provides the humidity necessary to improve the growth of plants at a critical stage.

Experts in the agricultural field have stressed that these falls can help improve the productivity of the agricultural season, especially in the fields that depend on ground agriculture, such as Al -haouz, Sayes, Chaouia and Doukkala.

The advantages of these rains were not only limited to crops, but also extended to pastures, because livestock breeders have benefited from the improvement of vegetation, which reduces the cost of the food which has increased considerably during last months.

Falls have also helped to strengthen the water stocks in the dams and internal mattresses, which reduces the crisis of the water shortage that the country has suffered in recent years.
