Built around 860, these basins were then part of a fifteen basins intended to supply the city with water. The ingenuity of the system earned Kairouan the name of "city of cisterns". Originally, the supply of the basins was ensured by a drainage system. The construction of an aqueduct (around 961) then brought the water from the springs of Cherichira, located 40 km away. The work consists of a small settling basin, a large basin for storing water and two tanks for drawing water, with a total capacity of 68 800m3.
