Water?
1- In the Mediterranean region the pressure on water resources is high, so there is no water to “waste”. 2- It is illusory to believe that any country in the region can cope and meet them on its own.3- Tunisia is a country with relatively limited renewable water resources.Water resources : 4,700 millions m3 of which 650 millions m3 are non renewable resources (13.8%). Only 50% of water resources present salinity below 1.5 g/l, and 16% more than 3 g/l.
Therefore the per capita annual water ratio is only about 450 m3 /year/capita. Rainfall map

- Engagement Eau-Tunis- Water Cluster, implementation?
15 December 2011
Engagement Eau-TunisDecisions taken
Share the information on agenda and current initiatives and opportunities offered in the EU-MED frame (1)
Strengthen the communication, the exchange and the collaboration between the EU-MED networks, (2)
Optimize scientific meetings (seminars, workshops, trainings) to avoid the fragmentation of the efforts and to converge them, as much as possible, to common agenda and objectives. (3)
Improve the governance to work in the emergence of new innovative projects and of future generations of researchers-entrepreneurs and decision-makers in the sector of SWM (4)
List the technological offer of the partners to strengthen the opening to the industrial sector (5)
Strengthen the links for more synergies, complementarity and intensification of actions (6)
Unite and better cooperate to elaborate solutions for local, national and Med contexts (7)

National and international institutions which
participated to information day (15 Dec. 2010).
The general objective of "Water Cluster" is the implementation of a platform of synergy around the EU and MED projects integrating water component for a capitalization, a concentration of the efforts and a maximization of the impacts and the resources (overcoming fragmentation and duplication, facilitation of TT).
Potential?
Concentrate and use scientific excelence for economical and societal developement based on RDI (4&5)
Fostering national and regional collaboration on R&DI (1 &2)
Decision support at national and regional level (7)
Boost TT and Reseach-Private cooperation (4&5)
Synergy between projects (national and EU) (3 &8)
Increase the visibility and capacity to set up projects (1&2)
Better access to public and international funding
Capacity building to gain advanced skills to tackle challenges and generate innovation
