الزراعة عن طريق نظام الغوط كتراث زراعي عالمي في منطقة وادي سوف :واقع وآفاق

Abstract

The Ghout system is a global agricultural heritage and is a unique and distinct model for which the Souf region is famous for cultivating date palms, as it preserves water and soil and adapts to the harsh conditions in arid lands, and has a great environmental, economic and historical role. This work aims to study the current situation of the Ghout system by conducting a field investigation that touched a sample of 330 Ghouts distributed across all regions of Wadi Souf. The results of the study show that the agricultural system through the Ghout began to decline and disappear at an accelerated pace, due to several problems, the most important of which are the fluctuation of the groundwater level, urban expansion and competition of the modern agricultural sector. Ensuring an optimum level of the surface aquifer is the ideal solution to regenerate this agricultural system.
