كيال الماء و التقمان : حرفتان قديمتان بقصور توات تصارعان من أجل البقاء

Abstract EN

The traditional crafts symbolize the cultural and popular heritage, the historical and civilizational depth of the countries.

my choice to talk about two ancient crafts : Kiyyal al ma', a local expression meaning the water measurer ; and Tegman, a local expression meaning parcels on a farm for the purpose to cultivated.

these two ancient crafts tend to disappear.

the first one related to the irrigation system "Foggara", currently suffering from drought, neglect and competition from modern irrigation methods.

the second, traditional farming struggles to survive for the same reason, that is, competition from the use of modern methods.

the article also sheds light the al-Khammas, a local expression meaning the sharecropper and al-Kharras, a local expression meaning the yield estimator.

finally, we examine the negative impact of the modern agricultural machines on these traditional activities and crafts.

the objective of raising these issues is the preservation of the tangible heritage, and its introduction into academic research.
