[1] Al-arbaâ Valley is one of the main waterways in the eastern drainage basin of Djinet and the western area of Sidi Daoud in Boumerdès Province.

Al-arbaâ Valley is relatively less affected by water pollution due to its course lying outside the urban and residential fabric of Sidi Daoud and Boudouaou's surroundings.

[4] Al-arbaâ Valley experiences flooding during the rainy season due to rainwater flowing from the upper areas of the municipalities of Ouled Aissa, Sidi Daoud, and Djinet.

[5][6] To address this issue, plans are underway to mitigate the problem as part of the ongoing project to expand and upgrade the national road.

[10][11] The reservoir's heavy water conditions make swimming unsafe, and accidents have occurred due to the muddy nature of its banks.

However, the theft and degradation of pumps and pipelines hindered efforts to expand vegetable farming in the region, specifically in the plains of Yesser and Dellys.

Such improvements could also enhance the dam's tourism potential, given its proximity to natural attractions such as Boubrak Forest and Mount Sidi Daoud, which rises to 595 meters.
