Construction work on the new “Rabat El Khair” dam, in the province of Sefrou, has begun and the project has been entrusted to the Moroccan company “Stam”.

This project is considered one of the vital projects, with a total cost of one billion and 600 million dirhams, because it will contribute to the supply of drinking water to the Sefrou region and its surroundings, in addition to the watering farmland, flood protection, and producing hydroelectric power.

Technically, the dam reaches a height of 71 meters above the foundations and is classified as a concrete-covered rock dam. Its completion will help increase water storage capacity in the basin, which will better meet the region’s water needs.

This project is part of the Royal Directives which underline the need to accelerate the pace of implementation of major hydraulic projects, particularly in areas which experience significant quantities of rain and snow.
