As part of the rehabilitation of Tiznit and in particular of the médina, the rehabilitation of the natural basin, landscaped in the 16th and 17th centuries, includes a double circuit purifying and oxygenating water basins by a waterfall on one hand, and, on the other, directing water via a long irrigation channel to a pool feeding the surrounding gardens, evoking the original palm grove which today has doubled in size outside the walls. The idea is to give to the most vulnerable a public place of quality without sacrificing its history. This project for the restoration of the water tank has been studied by various educational institutes in Europe and North Africa.
