Oued Seguellil
Oued Seguellil (or Oued Séguélil or Oued Seguelil or Oued Seguellîl) is a wadi in Mauritania. It begins in the Adrar Plateau and runs south-west passing through the town of Atar and getting lost in the surrounding sands.[1]

The Adrar Plateau near Atar is rich in gorges like the oued el Abiod. Most of these gorges empty into the Seguellil wadi bed resulting in a string of pools and intermittent streams. 20 km south of Atar is the controversial Seguellil-dam, inaugurated in 2019.[2] The river gets lost in the sands north of the western foothills of the Adrar Plateau.[3]
