The cistern of Wadi Kabir is used by Bedouin and hikers up to today. It keeps water through the hot summer.
The run-off rain water directed to the cistern by dikes built on the surrounding hills.
The water is directed first to a built shaft to let the sediment sink, filtering the water before it enters the cistern .
