There are 907 operational foggaras in the Touat, Gourara and Tidikelt oases. Unfortunately, this hydraulic and cultural patrimony is deterioring from year to year due to technical and social problems. The El Meghier foggara is one of the biggest Algerian foggaras. The present article explains the reasons for its degradation and the subsequent consequences.
