Based on an analysis of the current situation, this strategy will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the sector and review reform options of reform that address upcoming challenges and provide the highest level of service at the lowest possible cost for urban and rural beneficiaries, while guaranteeing the widest and most sustainable service coverage. The Tunisian economy's strong growth during the past four decades, at over 5 percent per annum, enabled the government to mobilize substantial internal and external resources to finance sector investments. The increase in public revenue parallel to this growth was also instrumental in ensuring sustainable project funding. Moreover, this economic growth greatly stimulated household incomes, thus access to water supply and sanitation services. The objective of these studies and other related projects is to mobilize the potential in variable surface water as well as in fragile groundwater resources, in order to satisfy fast-growing water needs while limiting the negative effect of pollution, and ensuring water resources sustainability. The studies and programs were carried out within the framework of a larger regional master plan (for the North, Central, and South regions), mobilizing the various hydraulic systems in order to satisfy the need for drinking water in major urban and rural areas, as per the water code, as well as the tourist, agricultural, and industrial sectors.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO DRINKING WATERACCESS TO WATERACCESS TO WATER SUPPLYADEQUATE SANITATIONADEQUATE WATERADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORTAERATIONAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTBASINSBILATERAL COOPERATIONBILATERAL DONORSBRACKISH WATERCAPACITY BUILDINGCHANNELSCOLLECTION SYSTEMCONSERVATIONCONSTRUCTIONCONSTRUCTION WORKCORROSIONCOST RECOVERYCUBIC METERDEEP WELLSDEMAND MANAGEMENTDESALINATIONDISCHARGEDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMDOMESTIC WATERDOMESTIC WATER CONSUMPTIONDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SECTORDRINKING WATER SUPPLYDROUGHTENGINEERINGENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONEQUIPMENT MAINTENANCEEROSIONFINANCIAL VIABILITYFLOOD CONTROLFLOODSGASGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER RESOURCESHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONSHYDRAULIC RESOURCESINDIVIDUAL CONNECTIONSINVESTMENT PROGRAMINVESTMENT SUBSIDIESIRONIRON PIPESIRRIGATIONLAKESLARGE DAMSLARGE URBAN AREASLEAST COSTLOCAL WATERLOCALITIESLOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDSMAINTENANCE COSTSMARGINAL AREASNATURAL SPRINGSOPERATIONAL ACTIVITIESPERFORMANCE INCENTIVESPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPIPELINEPIPESPOLLUTION CONTROLPOTABLE WATERPOTABLE WATER SUPPLYPOTABLE WATER SYSTEMSPRIVATE COMPANIESPRIVATE SECTOR INVOLVEMENT IN WATERPROGRAMSPROGRESSIVE TARIFF STRUCTUREPROSPECTINGPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC UTILITIESPUBLIC UTILITYPUBLIC WATERPUMPINGPUMPING STATIONSPUMPSRAINWATERREGIONAL COUNCILSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRIVERSRURAL DRINKING WATERRURAL SANITATIONRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSAFE DRINKING WATERSALINITYSALT WATERSANITATION ACTIVITIESSANITATION COMPANIESSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION INFRASTRUCTURESANITATION PERFORMANCESANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICESSANITATION STRATEGYSECURE WATER SUPPLYSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSERVICE QUALITYSHALLOW WELLSSMALL TOWNSSPRINGSSURFACE WATERTARIFF ADJUSTMENTSTARIFF INCREASETARIFF POLICIESTARIFF POLICYTRANSPARENCYTREATMENT PLANTSURBAN AREASURBAN SANITATIONURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYWASTE WATERWASTE WATER TREATMENTWASTEWATERWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER AVAILABILITYWATER CODEWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER COVERAGEWATER DEMANDWATER DISTRIBUTIONWATER INVESTMENTSWATER NEEDSWATER OPERATORSWATER PIPESWATER POINTWATER POINTSWATER POLLUTIONWATER POLLUTION CONTROLWATER PRODUCTIONWATER PROJECTSWATER QUALITYWATER RECYCLINGWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES ALLOCATIONWATER REUSEWATER SANITATIONWATER SAVINGSWATER SCARCITYWATER SECTORWATER SERVICEWATER SERVICE DELIVERYWATER SERVICESWATER SOURCESWATER STORAGEWATER STORAGE TANKSWATER SUPPLY FACILITIESWATER SUPPLY PROJECTSWATER SUPPLY SERVICEWATER SUPPLY SYSTEMWATER SYSTEMWATER TABLESWATER TANKSWATER TARIFFWATER TARIFFSWATER TRANSFERWATER USAGEWATER UTILITYWATERSWELLS10.1596/18605
