【 摘 要 】

This article discusses the various water harvesting techniques used in the oases of Boussemghoun, Moghrar and Tiout for more than nine centuries. Several hydrological assessments have been conducted in the three oases since 2002 including surveys and investigations with the local communities. The results obtained showed that after the decrease in discharge of the sources, the population had resources to various ancestral hydraulic infrastructures such as: well, foggara, and small dams (Essad). The water harvesting technique is specific to the region and depends on the hydrogeology and the topography. Traditional low-flow water-saving technologies preserve the environment, modern hydraulic techniques give more water but have a negative impact on the environment. The drying up of springs and lowering of water tables are the result of the population growing and the socio-economic development. They require more and more water. A compromise between traditional and modern techniques (or types of management) can solve this problem.
