Bizerte lands face pollution and climate issues
The Al-Azeeb area in Bizerte is suffering from severe environmental degradation caused by sewage leakage and the contamination of fertile lands bordering Wadi Jidara due to industrial pollution and illegal dumping. Despite the initiation of a sewerage pipeline project costing 4.9 million dinars, polluted water flooded 4 hectares of agricultural land in 2025, and caused the destruction of an additional 2 hectares in January 2026. Climate change has led to a drop in the water level of Lake Bizerte, threatening agricultural productivity and soil quality. Meanwhile, farmers are struggling with the proliferation of insects and foul odors resulting from ongoing pollution.
