Agriculture Ministry: 10 New Wells in Tozeur and 7-Year Debt Plan
The article pertains to the efforts of the Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources, and Fisheries to ensure the continuous supply of irrigation water to the Tataouine Governorate. Key measures include equipping 10 new wells and connecting them to irrigation networks, rehabilitating damaged wells within the five-year plan, and providing the necessary funding for these projects. The plan also features a schedule to settle the debts of agricultural cooperatives over seven years, due to their outstanding payments to the Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company, which caused water outages due to unpaid bills. Additionally, the national strategy aims to improve water management and develop projects to protect water resources, such as the deep well replacement project with an estimated cost of up to 50 million dinars, scheduled to commence operations in 2027. This initiative seeks to combat desertification and promote water conservation. Rural development projects, the enhancement of irrigation networks, and annual budgets allocated for maintenance are designed to improve performance and ensure the sustainability of the region's water system.
