A channel led from the center of the lake, crossed the western flank and led to the Oued Meboudja. The surface elevation had dropped to by 1880, but the lake remained swampy in summer. In May 2007 it was reported that farmers who used the waters of the wadi to irrigate their lands were greatly concerned about pollution.

Société Mokta El Hadid
The Société Mokta El Hadid was an iron ore mining company in Algeria, and later in other West African countries. From around 1865 until 1927 it was the largest mining company in Algeria, delivering ore of exceptional quality for processing in France. In 1878 the original Mokta El Hadid mine near Bône (now Annaba) was said to be capable of supporting 25% of Europe's steel production. Before this mine was exhausted the company opened additional mines in Algeria. Later it extended its operations to countries such as Tunisia, Morocco, Niger, Côte-d'Ivoire and Madagascar, and mined manganese, chromium and uranium. In October 1970 the Société le Nickel, soon to become the Imétal holding company, took over the Mokta company. The company was later renamed Compagnie française de Mokta (CFM), specializing in uranium mining. First discovery The mine is about from the port of Bône in the Mokta hill beside at the foot of a mountain chain that runs from south to north, then turns east ...

Lake Of Fetzara
The Lake of Fetzara is located in northeastern Algeria, southeast of the city of Annaba. It measures from east to west and from north to south, with an area of about . It was officially classified as an area "Ramsar", which involves protection of this location. Several studies have been conducted on water and soil of the region Fetzara -7 These studies were carried out to monitor the salinity and to highlight its origins and factors governing it. The main objective of this study was to evaluate soil properties of Fetzara Lake that are affected by the phenomenon of salinization and to study their variation with depth. The samples were taken on the first two layers (0–20 cm and 20–40 cm) at eight points around the Fetzara Lake, for a total of 16 samples. The analytical results indicate that soil salinity has reached its maximum in the northeast (region of Wadi Zied) and south of Lake (region of Cheurfa) with a dominance of sodium chloride-chemical facies.
