Decision scope
Questions answered
Which changes are redefining Tunisia’s water sector?
Tunisia is expanding desalination and wastewater reuse while strengthening groundwater controls, rehabilitating utility networks, and reforming tariffs and regulation. The report evaluates how these measures support supply security, operational performance, and long-term resilience.
How does Eau 2050 affect infrastructure planning?
Eau 2050 provides a long-term planning basis for treatment, desalination, conveyance, storage, distribution, reuse, and energy-linked water infrastructure. The report assesses how this agenda shapes investment sequencing, procurement, regulation, and utility operations.
What supports long-term utility financial sustainability?
Financial sustainability depends on tariff reform, affordability measures, improved cost recovery, lower network losses, stronger asset management, and development finance. The report examines how these factors affect utility finances and infrastructure delivery.
How could Water Code reform change groundwater governance?
Water Code reform can strengthen abstraction oversight, clarify allocation rules, address unauthorized extraction, and improve institutional coordination. The report evaluates how these changes affect agriculture, utilities, resource protection, and regulatory enforcement.

Inside the report
Analytical coverage
Architectures: Eau 2050 and national water resilience
Examines how Tunisia is using Eau 2050 to coordinate supply planning, circular water management, infrastructure sequencing, climate adaptation, and long-term resource security. The analysis connects source diversity, asset interdependence, service continuity, environmental performance and long-term resilience.
Enablement: Desalination and wastewater reuse
Analyzes how Tunisia is expanding non-conventional supply through desalination, wastewater reuse, energy integration, and improved management of operating costs. These capabilities determine whether operators can coordinate demand, asset performance, customer service and incident response.
Resolution: NRW reduction and digital networks
Assesses how SCADA, smart meters, pressure management, leak detection, pipe renewal, and improved asset data can strengthen distribution performance. The assessment identifies where targeted controls, rehabilitation, preparedness and accountable evidence can close the most material gaps.
Alignment: Groundwater controls and agricultural demand
Evaluates how Tunisia is addressing abstraction, aquifer protection, salinity risks, agricultural demand, allocation rules, and compliance under Water Code reform. Effective alignment depends on clear mandates, investable priorities, coordinated delivery and transparent performance oversight.
Capability Building: Tariffs, cost recovery, and development finance
Reviews how Tunisia is aligning tariff reform, affordability, utility cost recovery, institutional capacity, development finance, and long-term investment delivery. Sustained capability depends on workforce skills, interoperable data, institutional learning and disciplined implementation.
