The Cisterns of Tawila, also known as Tawila Tanks, are an ancient historic site that holds a significant place in the region's history. These structures were meticulously designed to store millions of gallons of rainwater, making them an essential component of the local water management system. The British colonial administration recognized the importance of these cisterns in preventing flooding and ensuring a steady water supply for the local population.
