Medjerda

Medjerda river is a North African river that flows from northeast Algeria through Tunisia and into the Gulf of Tunis and Lake Tunis. It is Tunisia's longest river, measuring 450 kilometers in length. Wadi Majardah or Mejerha are other names for it. The Medjerda River rises in the Tell Atlas, a section of the Atlas Mountains in northeastern Algeria, and runs east to Tunisia before entering the Mediterranean Sea's Gulf of Utica. Its 460-kilometer course is the longest in the world. It is Tunisia's most important and longest river, dammed in numerous places and a major source of water for the country's wheat harvests.

The Medjerda is historically Tunisia's most important canal, delivering water to the country's supply facilities as well as the people that live around it. The Medjerda's water is utilized for irrigation, and it is critical to the region's agriculture.

It was battled over and settled numerous times by the Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, and Ottomans as a strategic resource. Several significant cities, including Utica, Carthage, and Tunis, were founded on or around it. The silting of their harbors forced the closure of the former ports of Utica and Ghar el-Melh.280 miles (shared with Tunisia)
