WATER SUPPLY II

closed

The Second Water Supply Project includesht sub-projects to expand and strengthen water supply systems in four regions and four cities of Tunisia comprising the country's fast growing tourism and industrial centers. It will mainly consist of constructing and reinforcing water transmission pipelines which will connect existing distribution systems to ground-water resources in the interior of the country. Seventy percent of the project will benefit tourism areas. The internal rate of return of the project is expected to be at least 11 percent; in addition the project will reduce the danger of water-borne diseases. No adverse repercussions on the ecology are expected from it.
