Tunisia faces worsening water crisis
Tunisia is facing a severe water crisis that necessitates declaring a state of water emergency, due to increasing disruptions in drinking water supply during the summer, alongside rising temperatures and growing demand for water. The problem has structural roots, including a shortage of water resources, aging distribution networks, climate change, and a heavy reliance on groundwater and agricultural irrigation, which consumes about 80% of the available resources. Although reservoir stocks have improved, resource shortages, deteriorating infrastructure, and power outages continue to cause ongoing disruptions. Measures are being taken to promote water conservation and develop more effective mechanisms for collecting and storing water, alongside calls for exceptional decisions to address the crisis in the long term.
