National Observatory of Agriculture Publishes Data on Tunisia's Dam Situation

The National Observatory of Agriculture (Onagri) released data today, December 27, on the situation of dams in Tunisia. This essential information is crucial for managing water resources in the context of climate change.

Daily Inflows: 5.4 million m³, highlighting that dams continue to receive water inflows, which allows for strengthening hydrological reserves.

Current Stock: 526.9 million m³, representing the volume of water currently available in dams.

Fill Rate: 22.5%, indicating that dams are filled to just over one-fifth of their total capacity, a relatively low rate that calls for prudent management of resources.

These data show that, although dams are still receiving water inflows, the fill rate remains insufficient, which can pose risks in the event of prolonged drought.

Indeed, such a low fill rate requires increased vigilance to anticipate water needs, particularly for agriculture and domestic consumption.

Onagri also monitors other key indicators, such as stock variations compared to the previous year and water volumes released by dams, to ensure optimal management of hydrological resources.

Thanks to this information, authorities can make informed decisions and adjust water management strategies according to climate conditions and water needs across the country.
