Abstract
Water is considered the source of life, and human existence has been linked to it since God created it. It is the most
important element in life after air Therefore, water has been the most important factor for the emergence and
development of civilizations since ancient times, such as the civilization of Mesopotamia and the Nile, in addition to the
civilization of China and India...
Because the desert is devoid of ever-flowing rivers and valleys, in addition to the lack of rain, as well as the difficulty of
storage due to evaporation and other difficult conditions, which made people search for other sources to meet their
water needs by exploiting underground water, except for its great distance from the surface of the earth in some areas,
such as the Tuat region, for example. It made man innovate a system for use in irrigation and drinking, called the faqara
system.
