Water levels of Oued Moulouya rise in Taourirt: Flood warnings and mobilization in the region

Record rise in the flow of Oued Moulouya in Taourirt province

The Taourirt province has experienced a significant and powerful influx of water through the Oued Moulouya riverbed over the past few hours, resulting from heavy rainfall in the mountainous areas and springs that feed this vital water artery in the eastern region. These flows have caused a notable and sudden rise in water levels, sparking a state of anticipation and mobilization among the local population and surrounding areas.

Urgent calls to stay away from riverbanks and exercise caution

In light of this situation, strict warnings have been issued to all citizens, especially farmers, herders, and road users, to immediately stay away from the riverbanks and not to attempt crossing any low-water points or paths near the watercourse. These proactive warnings are intended to prevent accidents such as drowning or the loss of property and livestock, especially as the current flow is characterized by a strength and speed that could surprise pedestrians.

It should be noted that the competent authorities are closely monitoring the hydrological status of the river. As these flows are expected to continue moving toward the mouth of the river, the population is advised to remain on high alert, strictly adhere to safety and prevention guidelines issued by the authorities, and avoid areas at risk of flooding until water levels return to safe, normal levels.
