💧The Aghlabid Reservoirs in Kairouan, Tunisia 🏞️🏰（1）

💦Nestled within the historic city of Kairouan in the Republic of Tunisia, the Aghlabid Reservoirs stand as a testament to ancient engineering brilliance. 🏛️ ✨ Constructed in 862 AD, the locals built a total of 15 grand reservoirs to combat the severe water scarcity in the region, which suffered from droughts and lay below sea level. Today, only two of these magnificent structures remain open for visitors to marvel at. 🌊 Standing on the specially constructed viewing platform, one can't help but be awestruck by the ingenuity of the Kairouan people. 🤩 🔍 These reservoirs were ingeniously designed to collect and store rainwater, ensuring a steady supply of drinking water for the community throughout the year. The scale and precision of their construction reflect the advanced hydraulic knowledge possessed by the Aghlabid dynasty. 📜 #BeijingYanshanTraditionalChinesePaintingAcademy #BeijingBohantangCalligraphyAndPainting #TunisiaTravel
