Agriculture Ministry Approves Funding for Jerez Desalination Expansion
According to the article, approval has been granted to expedite the financing of the expansion of the seawater desalination plant in Djerba to increase its capacity from 50,000 cubic meters per day to 75,000 cubic meters per day by adding a third line with an additional production capacity of 25,000 cubic meters per day. This comes as part of efforts to meet the growing water demand on the island, which experiences water supply disruptions during the summer, affecting daily life, economic activities, and tourism. The total cost of the project is approximately 200 million dinars, with 95 million allocated for the desalination plant expansion and 105 million for strengthening the distribution network. However, the project's launch depends on securing the necessary funding and signing loan agreements with the financing entities, including the German Development Bank and the World Bank, which are still in negotiation stages.
