Bou Sellam River

[1] [2] The river flows through the Bou Sellam Valley, and is obstructed by the Ain Zada Dam.

[3] The basin of Bou Sellam is closed to the north, from the confluence of the river with the Oued Sahel, by Mount Gueldamane.

The river then takes the name Oued Bou Sellam; It runs first south-south-west, passes three kilometers west of Setif, and crosses the chain in which it takes its source between djebel Tafat and Guergour.

After crossing the Aïn Zada dam, it crosses the Khelil commune by the east and receives two new tributaries, Wadi Khelil, which flows from the left bank in Besbassa halfway between El Kherba and the Aïn Zada dam and the wadi Taissa shortly before on the right bank.

Throughout this part of the course, the Bou Sellam watered the rich plain of Ameur, Ouled Mosli and Gherazla.
