Allal al Fassi Dam, Embankment dam near Sefrou, Morocco
The Allal al Fassi Dam stretches 340 meters in length and rises 61 meters above the Sebou River, creating a reservoir of 81.5 million cubic meters.
The construction of this water management structure in 1991 represented a major advancement in Morocco's infrastructure development for agricultural irrigation and power generation.
The dam bears the name of Muhammad Allal al-Fassi, a Moroccan political leader and scholar who studied at the University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fes.
Through a 15.45-kilometer tunnel system, water flows from the dam to a power station equipped with three Francis turbines that generate 220 gigawatt-hours annually.
The facility transfers 300 million cubic meters of water yearly while supporting a power station that maintains an installed capacity of 240 megawatts.
