The Minister of Equipment and Water, Nizar Baraka, confirmed today Tuesday that the program for the construction of thresholds for artificial grafting of water beds, carried out proactively, will make it possible to save many oases after the recent rains.
Baraka explained, in response to a question on “the urgency of digging wells to save the oases” during the weekly oral question session at the Council of Advisors, that a certain number of oases have experienced a recovery following the recent rains in the last months of September and October.
The government official stressed that the government pays particular attention to the establishment of urgent procedures and measures in areas threatened by the shortage of irrigation water and to the safeguarding of oases.
Baraka explained that the ministry has opened the way, within the framework of exploratory drilling, for people with drilling permits to be able to deepen them with the aim of saving oases and fruit trees.
