New Technology Helps Detect Water Leaks in Médenine
A new technology has been recently used in Médenine to detect leaks in the drinking water network. According to the TAP agency, this system has allowed the detection of 450 leaks on a 312 km network. As a result, 32 liters of water per second have been saved, equivalent to the production of a well over a year.
Improving Water Networks
During a meeting in Médenine, the CEO of Sonede explained that a program of modern technologies is underway to improve drinking water networks. He also announced the launch of a call for tenders to digitize water meters across the country.
Addressing Water Access Issues
Faced with water access problems in the south, the official indicated that it is necessary to increase the production of seawater desalination stations in Zarat and Djerba, and improve water transfer to cover the needs of the inhabitants of Médenine, Gabès, and Tataouine.
New Wells and Investments
In addition, 8 new wells will be drilled in Béni Khedache, in the north and south of Médenine, at a cost of 4.61 million dinars.
