Water management scenarios
An easy-to-use water management tool for the Al Massira dam is provided here in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. The tool provides outputs of time series of the water release from the dam to the main river and the level of satisfaction of irrigation water demand from the Doukkala irrigation district.
The tool links the water inflow and water storage within the reservoir with the downstream requests for agricultural water use (Doukkala irrigation district) and civil water use (drinking water for some urban centres in the Oum Er-Rbia basin, including Casablanca). Different scenario options can be selected to consider variations in the water level and storage in the Al Massira reservoir, minimum environmental flows or additional sources of non-conventional water.
The tool is updated every month based on forecasted inflows and water demands from this web platform. As it is a planning tool, it focuses on the forecast period to identify possible scenarios of future water management.
Water management tool: DownloadAFRI-SMART EO-Africa multi-scale smart agricultural water management
This web platform provides a set of data and tools to help decision making on water management in Morocco with a focus on the Oum Er-Rbia river basin and the Doukkala irrigation district.
The project is funded by the EO-Africa programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) as a National Incubator
The project is led by the Politecnico di Milano, in collaboration with UNESCO Regional Office for North Africa, Chouaib Doukkali University and University of Southampton
