The Mauritania Zuelat Dam project undertaken by China Power Construction Port and Shipping Company passed the completion and acceptance, and was highly praised by the Mauritian Minister of Water Resources and the local media.

The Zuerat area is located in the southern part of the Sahara Desert and belongs to an inland mining area. It is arid and rainless, severely short of water, and is in urgent need of water conservancy facilities. However, due to the complex geological conditions and the difficult construction environment, the two previous attempts to build the dam were unsuccessful. Therefore, since the start of construction, the Zuerat Dam project undertaken by PowerChina has attracted the attention and expectations of the local government and the general public. A number of famous Mauritian media including Mauritania TV and CRIDEM News reported on the temporary acceptance of the dam. CRIDEM News stated that "a local company and another French company have failed, but China Power Construction has succeeded!"
