| The reuse of treated wastewater in irrigation represents
a strategic option in order to preserve, based on the exploitation of non-conventional
resources, a limited water potential. This option was already used, as far
back in time as 1965, in the zone of Soukra where the treated effluent of
the wastewater treatment plant of Charguia was used for irrigation.
A volume of about 30% of the treated wastewater currently
serves for the irrigation of 9750 hectares, distributed as follows:
 farming zones: 8260
ha;
golf courses: 1040
ha;
green spaces: 450
ha.
