Global tender for deep well drilling
The Regional Delegation for Agricultural Development in Kébili announced an international tender to carry out four deep geothermal wells exceeding 2,100 meters in depth. This project aims to replace old wells that have experienced salinization and deterioration due to their age in the 1970s and 1980s. The projects also include sealing four other old wells that have seen increased salinity, in order to boost water resources in agricultural areas—especially since no Tunisian contractors currently possess the capabilities to drill such deep wells. These initiatives are expected to contribute to fulfilling more than 70% of the oasis water needs. Additionally, nine more wells will be drilled as part of the "PIHOS" project, funded by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, involving foreign companies, to enhance water resources and improve local farmers' income.
