Source of life

Western Sahara is one of the most arid places on Earth. In the vicinity of its biggest city, in the middle of hammada - a stony desert - lays a water reservoir on the intermittent river Saguia el-Hamra. In August it turns to a couple of ponds, but still remains the biggest water body in the area comparable to the Great Britain.
