It was , a contractor based in Thénia at the time, who carried out the work on this dam until its final acceptance.[7][8]
This hydraulic dam was approved on 26 February 1913 for its use in the city of Thénia and in the railway station of the same city.[9]
Indeed, this city created in 1872 required for its development and its economic development that there be a significant supply of fresh water, often difficult to achieve through wells and natural water sources.[10]
