Djorf Torba Dam is a dam in Kenadsa District, Béchar Province, Algeria, crossing the Oued Guir about 50 kilometres (31 mi) west of the capital, Béchar.[3][4] It is used for the purposes of irrigation and water supply.[2] The area around the head of the dam features a number of notable ancient monuments.[5] The dam has resulted in a significant reduction in the flow of Oued Guir and Oued Saoura in locations downstream of the dam.[1]
