Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is subject to water scarcity (Ragab and Prudhomme, 2002) and more than 60% of the population live in areas of high water stress compared to a global average of about 35%. Droogers et al. (2012) mentioned that, in present time, the average per capita water availability in MENA region is slightly above the physical water scarcity limit at about 1076 m/yr compared to the world average of about 8500 m/yr. In particular, water resources in Tunisia are identified by their scarcity, low quality, poor distribution and seasonal distribution (Ben Zaied and Bient, 2015).
