Tunisia begins 2026-2027 agricultural season with better water figures
Tunisia is preparing for the 2026-2027 agricultural season amid improved water indicators compared to previous years, with dam capacity reaching about 50% at the beginning of September. This level is considered reassuring despite ongoing water challenges. This improvement resulted from rainfall in several regions at the end of August and the beginning of September, which is expected to increase dam levels to between 70% and 80% during the autumn if rainfall continues. However, challenges related to water distribution and resource management remain, especially with ongoing issues in irrigation networks, the need to enhance the use of non-traditional water sources, and to improve the efficiency of transportation and distribution networks to cope with climate change pressures and reliance on groundwater resources. The government is ready for the season through early preparations to ensure the availability of seeds and fertilizers, the development of harvesting systems, and enhanced water management to ensure sustainability. Nonetheless, adapting to rainfall fluctuations and the spread of drought remains a critical factor for success, particularly as the situation depends on the amount of rainfall in the coming months and the system’s ability to utilize resources optimally.
