Wells for Bir Anezarane Commune

The Tewirf Association, representing the nomadic community in Bir Anezarane commune, has proposed a project to restore and expand existing infrastructure on three critical wells.

Located between Dakhla Oued Ed Dabah and Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra, Tourife provides water for drinking and watering camels in both regions.

Located in Bir Anezarane commune, these two wells provide water for nomadic communities and their livestock.

Constructing reservoirs for water storage will expand the capacity of the Touirfe Well, the Win Ferkane Well, and the Ouhifert Well.

Two wells need new solar pumps installed, and one needs a nonfunctioning solar pump repaired.
