Description
This broadcast commemorates one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in modern Tunisia: the construction of the Sidi Saad dam, renamed the Bourguiba dam. The illustration depicts the gigantism of the construction site through a red crane surmounting a mountain of earthworks and the massive curve of the concrete dam. The profile of President Habib Bourguiba, right, underlines the political will to control water in a semi-arid region to protect the city of Kairouan from flooding and develop irrigation. This stamp symbolizes the fight against climate change and the State's commitment to the country's hydraulic and agricultural security.
