VR Corbeille Tozeur

The basket of Nefta is a crevice in the form of a basket from which 152 springs emerged to irrigate the entire palm grove of Nefta. In the 1980s the springs dried up one after the other and there was desolation. The phenomenon was the same in El Hamma, Degache and finally Tozeur.

It is a fossil tablecloth. By dint of digging wells to irrigate the new palm groves, the level of the latter has only dropped. In addition, to continue to irrigate the old oases, it was necessary to dig new wells which have a limited lifespan. The basic problem remains and if nothing is done all the old oases of Djérid would eventually disappear.
