The Meraldene Dam, or Barrage Meraldene, is an embankment dam located at 3 km (2 mi) southwest of Thénia on the Meraldene River in Boumerdès Province within Kabylia in Algeria.[1][2]

Construction

The design of this project was entrusted to the engineer-architect, Henri Chauzy who had his office located in Algiers.[3][4]

The project for the realization of this hydraulic structure was approved on 24 May 1911 in order to carry out the water supply of the Meraldene River as well as the construction of the dam itself.[5][6]

It was Auguste Schneider, 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]
