• Dispersed population
• Average Water needs : 20 - 50 m3/day
• Water is managed by GIC «Grouping with collective interest ».
• Bad quality of distributes water
• Used for domestic tasks
• Cost of this Water is 0,4 US $/m3
• In Kairouan some families have to walk about 10 km to have potable water
• In Kebili the potable water is sold at place
• The cost of the potable water : 20 – 32 US$ / m3
• This water caused diseases (Diarrhoea until the renal calculi).
• Families are ready to pay more to have better quality water.27 / 79

Renewable Energies in Tunisia
• Tunisia has:• Good solar potential energy on the whole of the countryespecially area of the south (1.600-2.000 KWh/m²year)
• Satisfying Wind potential energy in the coastal and mountainous areas (600-900 KWh/m²an).
• Geothermal potential energy relatively low (low enthalpy)and concentrated in the southern areas.

The Problem : No Clear Strategy
� What are the regions that present an urgent need to
develop autonomous desalination units ?
� Which desalination technique is the most adequate ?
� Which Renewable Energy to use ?
� Is the coupling possible and economic ?
� What are the criterias to involve ?

Conclusions
� Problems of water and Energy in Rural regions
� Desalination by renewale energies is one of the solution to be considered
� The decision concerning :� To Identify the regions presenting an urgent need?� Wich Desalination technique (RO, HD, ect.)? � Which Renewable energy? Is very complicated (number of parameters)
� This decision must be done on the base of optimization 75 / 79
78
• The decision require a large number of competences : – Desalination techniques (Mechanic, heat and mass transfer, membranes, etc.)
– Renewable energies (Solar PV + Thermal, Wind, Geothermal)
– Water management– Economie– Sociology– Environmental
