In the valley of the Mellegue River, a perennial river passing through Tunisia’s northwestern province of El Kef, a Chinese engineering team is busy building a giant dam, which, once completed, will become one of the largest water conservancy facilities in the North African country.
One of the most famous Chinese power construction companies, Sinohydro, is building a dam over the Mellegue River in Tunisia’s northwestern province of El Kef.
The construction of the dam started in 2016 and is scheduled for completion in 2025. With a total storage capacity of 200 million cubic meters of water, it is set to become the second largest dam in Tunisia.
