Seven hours water cut
According to a report by Aljazeera, Tunisia's state water distribution company Sonede (SONEDE) has announced a water cut at night. Citizens will not have water supply for seven hours at night. Giving information about this decision on Friday, Sonade said that with immediate effect, water will not come from 9 pm to morning every day. Let us tell you that it is raining less in Tunisia for four consecutive years. Because of this, record drought is happening here.
Climate change is the cause of drought

Please tell that Ramadan has started. After this, people of many areas of the capital have complained of water cut at night. Because many people wake up late due to fasting.
Drought in water reserves
The ministry has informed that years of drought and less flow of water in the reservoirs have affected the country's water reserves, which have reached a state of unprecedented crisis. This new decision has increased the possibility of increasing social tension in the country. People in the country are already suffering from poor public services, high inflation and weak economy.
The water in the dams in the North African country has reached a very low level. Along with this, it has become even more serious due to the leakage of the water supply pipeline. Hamadi Habib, a senior official of Tunisia's Ministry of Agriculture, said that the dam capacity in the country is 100 million cubic meters. This capacity is now only 30 percent left.
Grain in front of tunisia
Due to the drought, a grain crisis has arisen in Tunisia. The Tunisian Federation for Agriculture and Fisheries said thousands of hectares of agricultural land could remain barren due to lack of rain. Spokesman Anees Kharbej told the media that the grain season would be disastrous. The estimated yield in the country will not be sufficient to provide seeds for the next year's crop.
