Kasserine Dam

BW

The Kasserine Dam was a scale to store drinking water and for irrigation of agricultural crops Roman dam at the edge of the Roman town Cillium, just west of the present city of Kasserine in Tunisia.

The arched dam from the 2nd century AD, is variously classified as arch-gravity dam or gravity dam. She was so placed that could be collected immediately before the town in a framed by rocks dam the flowing southward from the nearby wadi waters, at sufficiently high water level water could be derived by means of irrigation ditches to the fields.

A modern, with the dimensions but modest acting dam of concrete was built for the place as an irrigation project just above the well until the Middle Ages ruined ancient plant.
