The Ministry of Logistics denounced, on Thursday, the stories shared on social media claiming that dams Al Haouz were damaged in the magnitude 7 earthquake that shook that province on September 8.
The release said that the Lalla Takerkoust, Yacoub El Mansour, Abou Abbas Sebti dams are all in good condition, and they are not damaged, as was speculated on social media.
Monitoring the state of all dams in Morocco is a regular task carried out by the General Directorate of Hydraulics, as well as by teams of technicians from the hydraulic basin agencies. They insisted that there was no damage recorded to any of Morocco’s dams at any level due to the earthquake.
The ministry warned citizens be wary of unofficial news circulating about the consequences of the earthquake.
