COP 22 : Les Khattara du Maroc, un héritage écologique.
Résumé
A t the time when humanity is being conscious about the climate changes and is trying to preserve planet Earth from human activities, innovation remains a major tool for the legation of a clean, biologically diversified, and naturally balanced environment for the future generations. The innovative approach is primordial, but if we focus just on it we may ignore about other walks of lives, social organizations that epitomize engraved traditions of ecology and respect for Mother Nature. Seen from this optic, Miftah Essaad Foundation for the Immaterial Capital of Morocco, has ecided to defend this approach during the COP 22 activities. Morocco is among the rare countries that are still preserving an active system of water transportation, through artificial underground galeries called : KHATTARA. Those works ppeared in Morocco 1000 years ago, and could enlarge the arable surface and desert territories via the creation of oasis.
KHATTARA were dig horizontally by hands with a smooth elevation1 that can be extended for kilometers, with the
regular presence of chimney that could reach 30 meters. A real technical state-of-the-art, those channels were as precise as the current GPS systems.
