Domestic wastewater flow generated, delivered to treatment, and safely treated in morocco, by sanitation facility (2024)

Of the total domestic wastewater flow generated in Morocco, 76% comes from sewers, 19% from septic tanks and 4.4% from other sanitation facilities. The below chart shows how much of the generated flow from each sanitation facility type that is delivered to treatment and then safely treated.

Water use and scarcity

Water resources and withdrawal in Tunisia, total and per capita

Long-term average annual precipitation in depth: 207 (mm/year) (2020)

Renewable water resources: 400 m3 per capita (2017)

Water withdrawal: 423 m3 per capita (2017)

Environmental flow requirements: % of the renewable water resources ()

6.4.2 Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources in Tunisia, change over time, compared to other countries (and areas) in the region

6.4.1 Change in water-use efficiency over time in Tunisia, by sector (2020)

Water-use efficiency for ‘Agriculture, forestry and fishing’ only takes into account the proportion of gross value added that comes from irrigated agriculture, since that activity is associated with water withdrawal (other activities are rain-fed).

Extent of water-related ecosystems in Tunisia and change compared to baseline period 2000-2019, by ecosystem type (data from 2017-2021)

The total extent of water-related ecosystems in Tunisia is 1,275 square kilometres, representing 0.82 % of its land area. The total extent of water-related ecosystems is made up of 0.056 % permanent lakes and rivers, 0.66% seasonal lakes and rivers, 0.109 % reservoirs, 0 % inland vegetated wetlands and 0 % mangroves.

With the broad definition of wetlands used by the Ramsar Convention, Tunisia has --- square kilometres of natural wetlands and --- square kilometres of human made wetlands.
