Hydrology

Bouregreg is one of the principal hydrological courses of Morocco. It occurs in the Moroccan Massif Central and walks on towards the Atlantic littoral through Meseta coastal. Its catchment area is limited to the North-East by the basin of Sebou, in the south by that of the Oum Errabiaa, in south-west by the basins of the coastal wadis (Cherrat wadi, wadi Fifikh, and Malleh wadi and opens towards the west on the Atlantic Ocean).

The hydrographic network is primarily made up of two rivers:

Wadi Bouregreg
Grou Wadi and its affluents: Akrech and Krifla

The potential of the basin of water Bouregreg is evaluated to 680 mm ³ and contains dam Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah brought into service in 1974. It constitutes the principal work allowing the regularization of 245 mm ³ of drinking water, in addition to seven stoppings collinaires: Aird, Has Lamrabtia, Bouknadel, Mahrouk and khila with El Khémisset, Ain Tourtoute, and Tskrame with Khénifra.
