Enhancing Rainfed Agriculture Through Water Harvesting in Tunisia

Strengthening water resource management enhances resilience in rainfed agriculture, particularly in arid regions like Tunisia, where 92% of cultivated land relies on rainfall. Water harvesting techniques, including berms, dikes, and traditional clay jars, reduce runoff, prevent soil erosion, and store water for critical growth periods. These methods combat desertification and support sustainable farming under climate variability, offering a viable alternative to desalination and wastewater reuse.
