Keddara Dam, Embankment dam in Boumerdès Province, Algeria.
Keddara Dam is an embankment dam standing 106 meters high, built across the Boudouaou River to hold back water. The structure captures and stores water to supply the Algiers area and surrounding regions.
The dam was constructed between 1982 and 1987 by a Yugoslav company as part of Algeria's infrastructure development. The project aimed to improve water availability across the region during a period of industrial growth.
The dam plays a central role in supplying water to farms and towns across the region for both agriculture and daily needs. Water from this reservoir shapes how people in the area live and work throughout the year.
The location lies west of Algiers and is accessible by road through the area. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the terrain is hilly and uneven in places.
The dam receives water from two upstream reservoirs that together form a connected water system for the region. This network of multiple structures shows how the region manages its water flow and storage efficiently.
