Have you ever noticed that it rains so much in the desert that a lake is formed? Something similar happened in the Sahara Desert of Morocco, talking about the sudden flood, pictures have also surfaced. Here in the Sahara Desert, it rained so much that due to the palm trees, a lake was formed in the middle of the sand which became a rare sight in itself.
The village of Tagonite, located about 450 kilometers south of the capital Rabat, received more than 100 mm of rain in a 24-hour period. It was a spectacular sight for the communities and tourists of the Sahara Desert. When they saw the sand layer and the ponds surrounding the palm trees, they could not believe their eyes. These people were surprised to see the flood situation due to rain water in the desert. So seeing this scene they started dancing.
According to Morocco's weather office, this is the first time in 30 to 50 years that so much rain has fallen in such a short period of time. The weather office is calling such rain a tropical storm. Indeed, the weather in this region may change direction in the coming months and years as the air will become more humid and thus cause more evaporation. That's why there are more storms and rains.
Six consecutive years of drought have created challenging conditions across much of Morocco. This has forced farmers to leave their fields vacant and has limited water scarcity in cities and villages. These heavy rains will help replenish large aquifers beneath the desert. On which the communities in the desert area have to depend for water. More than 20 people have lost their lives due to floods in sandy and sandy areas in Morocco and Algeria. Besides, farmers' crops have also been damaged. This has forced the government to allocate emergency relief funds. A famous lake between Jagora and Tata, which was dry for 50 years, is filling rapidly, NASA satellites have revealed.
