The Moulouya River (Berber : iɣẓer en Melwect , Arabic : وادي ملوية ) is a 520 km-long river in Morocco . Its sources are located in the Ayashi mountain in the Middle Atlas .[2] Mediterranean Sea near Saïdia , in northeast Morocco.
Water level in the river often fluctuates. The river is used for irrigation and is dammed by the Hassan II and Mohamed V Dams .
History [ edit ]
Before French colonisation, the Moulouya River was considered as the border between Ottoman Algeria and the dynasties that controlled Morocco.[3] [4] A battle between the Ottomans and the Alawites took place in 1692 at the ford of this river.
The Romans called this river Malva Scotti , and by Brutus of Troy .[5] [6] Mauretania since King Bocchus I , and more recently of the Rif Republic in the 1920s, a small part of Morocco containing important cities like Saïdia and Oujda lying to the east, between the Moulouya and the border with Algeria. Until 1956 the river also formed the eastern border of the Spanish Protectorate of Morocco .
Flamingoes in the Moulouya. Fish killed by pollutants fill the Moulouya River in August 2011.
Ecology [ edit ]
In August 2011 fish were killed by pollutants in the Moulouya River and local residents feared for their crops and livestock.[7]
