An oasis is a fertile area in an arid or deserted area. In terms of its environment, it is the result not only of a rich biodiversity, but also of a population that has been able to preserve an ancestral know-how, in line with the principle of sustainable development, which is today weakened by global warming and desertification. It all begins with the water necessary for all life. The oasis, marked by a very low rainfall, must drain the water in its bosom to survive and thrive. It is by recovering and channelling the waters of the Atlas through long underground galleries stretching over several tens of kilometers, called khettaras, and by the water contained in the shallow groundwater that man has succeeded this prodigious turn of hand. The water collected is redistributed through crops through a drip irrigation system, some of them, or through irrigation canals called seguias. These systems make it possible to distribute water equitably across the oasis according to well-defined rules.
