Dams And Drains In The South Of Aures (Algeria) - Simple But Effective Hydraulic Works- Archaeological Field Study

Abstract

Before and after all the extraordinary rainfall, South Aures farmers rush to their water facilities such as dams, drains, and groundwater divide to make sure they are durable to face the flow of torrential rain. Researchers have studied the effectiveness of this [1]system with its various small hydraulic components in towns and villages in the south of Aures. The real protection of these southern villages’ farms from floods and erosion can only be guaranteed if they are maintained with small hydraulic equipment, which, as works and achievements, are the result of a centuries-old experience that we witness as timeless and continuous technology on the foothills of mountains, proven effective for generations.
