HIBAPRESS – Al Hoceima
The thunderstorms that Al Hoceima, Imzouren, and surrounding areas witnessed over the past two days have contributed to increasing the flow of the Giss Wadi and enhancing the water resources at the Giss Dam, located approximately 43 kilometers southwest of Al Hoceima city.
The dam's storage capacity is about 93 million cubic meters, with a budget of approximately 1.38 billion dirhams allocated to the project. The aim is to secure the supply of drinking water, mitigate flood risks, and irrigate about 1320 hectares of agricultural land.
In parallel with this water replenishment, the dam's construction work has exceeded 99 percent completion, with a reduction of about nine months in the completion period, paving the way for this vital project to enter a new phase in strengthening water security in the region.
