Italy Warns of Tunisia Water Crisis
A recent Italian report warns of an escalating water crisis in Tunisia, as the country faces increasing pressures threatening vital sectors such as agriculture, the economy, and social stability. This crisis is driven by the depletion of water resources due to drought, rising temperatures, and climate change. Although there was a temporary improvement in reservoir reserves in 2026, the core issue lies in the capacity of the distribution system and infrastructure to meet demand, especially given the deterioration of the water distribution network, which is characterized by aging facilities and significant losses. The report recommends swiftly investing in seawater desalination, expanding the use of treated water, and improving water resource management, emphasizing that water has become a matter of national security requiring a long-term strategy to ensure sustainable agricultural production and the availability of drinking water—particularly as demand continues to grow and future rainfall diminishes.
