Sousse Solves Water Shortage via Desalination

The seawater desalination plant in the city of Sousse, Tunisia, with a capacity of 50,000 cubic meters per day and the potential to expand to 100,000, has entered the testing phase to address the escalating water scarcity crisis in the country. This plant is part of the government's efforts to bolster non-traditional water resources due to declining river supplies and repeated network outages, which have led to increased bottled water prices and protests. Although costly, water desalination remains a necessary option, supported by a $208.5 million loan from the World Bank. The project aims to assist approximately 2.3 million Tunisians as part of a strategic effort to combat water shortages and mitigate the negative impacts on agriculture and daily needs.
