Tunisie Telegraph: Water reserves less than 3.46 percent of daily use
This summer, Tunisia is experiencing a crisis in bottled water due to a surge in demand—approximately 10 million liters per day—caused by the heatwave and record-high consumption levels. This has placed significant pressure on production and distribution operations. Despite having 31 bottling units with a combined capacity of up to 520,000 bottles per hour, monitoring efforts revealed the seizure of around 346,000 liters of water being kept off the market as a result of monopolistic practices and speculation. This amount represents roughly 3.46% of a single day's consumption. Such practices contribute to worsening the local shortage, especially when they are concentrated in certain areas, leading to higher prices and difficulty meeting demand. The problem is compounded by other factors, such as power outages and transportation and distribution challenges. Solutions are fundamentally linked to ensuring effective distribution of water supplies, market oversight to prevent hoarding, and maintaining stability in water provision during peak periods.
