BIN EL OUIDANE

The Bin el Ouidane Dam is an arch dam located 28 kilometres (17 mi) south of Beni Mellal on the El Abid River in Azilal Province, Morocco. Designed by Coyne et Bellierand constructed between 1949 and 1953, the purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power production and irrigation. Its 135 MW (181,000 hp) power station produces an average of 287 gigawatt-hours (1,030 TJ) annually and water from the reservoir helps irrigate 69,500 hectares (172,000 acres) in the Beni Moussa and Tadla plains.bin el ouidane dam considered one of the biggest dams in morocco, it's the second one after el wahda, in my opinion is one of the most beautifull places that you can see in morocco, aand the best period to visit bin el ouidane dam is in spring and summer, it looks too much pretty in these periods.i wish you enjoy your journey in morocco and in this places too
