Some suggestions for improvement

edit

Information about the following topics could be added to further improve the article:

  • The functioning of user associations in rural areas
  • Water quality, especially concerning the extent to which slightly brackish groundwater is used for drinking water supply in some regions of the South
  • The incidence and impact of drought and floods, as well as measures to mitigate their impact
  • Water use:This section is about overall water use, not drinking water use. Overall water use should rather be dealt in a new article on water resources management in Tunisia.
  • The functioning of wastewater treatment plants, in particular concerning the compliance with discharge standards and the disposal of sludge
  • The history section is brief and focused on the development of infrastructure. A history of policies, institutions and laws is still missing.
  • An updated water tariff (the one shown is from 2001)
  • Sanitation tariffs charged by ONAS
  • Water tariffs in rural areas outside the service area of SONEDE
  • Actual investment figures, as opposed to planned investments listed in the 5-Year-Plans
  • Desalination projects, both for seawater and brackish water
  • Average monthly water and sanitation bills, both in absolute terms and as a share of household expenditures, to measure affordability of tariffs
  • Information on bilateral external cooperation, in particular by France and Germany.
  • Add more hyperlinks to references
  • Add more primary sources. Currently, some basic information is quoted from secondary or tertiary sources that almost certainly have taken this information from other sources, with or without referencing it.--Mschiffler (talk) 21:54, 21 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
