The Tunisian state of Manouba recently recorded significant amounts of rainfall, which greatly alleviated the suffering of farmers in the regions of Battan, Tbra, and El Jedida, located along the Jermida Valley. This rain contributed to reducing the water shortage for irrigation and saving agricultural areas from the threat of drought, although water shares from the valley’s stream remain insufficient to meet the needs of the lands, especially during drought periods that can last up to 17 days. Farmers are considering alternative methods, such as using "sandaj" (a traditional water channel) to cope with the salinity of the water, and are relying on salt-tolerant crops like pomegranate and olive trees, while cultivating trees like apples and peaches remains difficult. The results indicate a noticeable improvement in water conditions, with the continued rainfall being crucial for enhancing agricultural productivity and preventing crops from drought damage.
