A. Chebil ; R. Soula ; A. Souissi ; B. Bennouna |This study examines the effects of irrigation water use efficiency improvements and citrus price fluctuations on water values in the tree production systems of northeastern Tunisia. It also aims to compare water values with the real price of wat[...]Article
The relative scarcity of water resources in Algeria and their unequal distribution induce a rational use of available resources. The Zana-Gadaïne plain appears as an exemplary case study, where the difficulties posed by the problem of crop water[...]Article
Sustainable management is a prerequisite for a lake to provide a range of ecosystem services. The prioritization of needs is a difficult task, especially when the needs are in conflict and threaten water security. Lake Karla, situated in the The[...]Article
