“…Whenever the foggara discharge dropped, requiring rehabilitation, the sharecroppers would negotiate water shares as a counterpart for their work and knowhow. A contemporary manifestation of this negotiation was observed in nearby Lahmeur oasis (Idda et al, 2017). The sharecroppers had been very active in obtaining State support for the construction of a borehole to supply pumped groundwater to five foggaras in 1992.…”

The foggara in the Algerian Sahara has often been portrayed as a traditional ingenious but immutable irrigation system incapable of keeping up with the radical socioeconomic and environmental transformations of the 20 th and 21 st centuries. Yet, oasis populations continue to use a large number of foggaras. The aim of this study was to reveal the importance of institutions in adapting and preserving the living character of foggaras. Adapting the physical infrastructure and the institutions governing the use of contemporary foggaras are key to adapt to change, weaving different threads of tradition and modernity to maintain collective action and keep the foggaras flowing. We show that Ostrom's design principles are not only an interesting lens to explore the durability of long-standing self-governing irrigation systems, but also, when these principles are challenged, to characterize transformations of the foggara at a time of contested change.

“…In these irrigation systems, the irrigators made a number of changes in the physical infrastructure (in some cases subsidized by the state) as well as in the institutions governing the access to and sharing of water (Hamamouche et al, 2017). For instance, Idda et al (2017) report on five foggara reinforced by pumped groundwater in Adrar (Algeria); these were financed by the state after a social mobilization, as their foggara were running dry because of the drilling of a deep borehole in the vicinity for drinking water. Such dynamics illustrate the structuring of a RWC, which, as mentioned before, strategically engaged with the state to gain access to subsidies and technical support.…”

“…Ils se sont également organisés en associations pour sauver leurs foggaras et par voie de conséquence préserver leur potentiel agricole traditionnel. Les propriétaires de foggaras ont obtenu des financements sur fonds publics pour réhabiliter les galeries souterraines ou adopter un dispositif hydraulique hybride, par exemple avec le renforcement du débit des foggaras par forage (Idda et al, 2017). Les forages sont équipés dans quelques oasis d'éoliennes ou de panneaux solaires pour pomper de l'eau.…”
