Probably the primary root cause of flooding Tunisia is the inadequate drainage systems. These systems are either poorly designed or not maintained at all. Leading to water accumulation during heavy rains. This issue stems from urbanzation without planning for water management infrastructures . Additionally, the money and funding is very limited, if even present. And maintenance is also very rare.

What are the solutions ?

We need to think of smarter ways to design new drainge systems. Besides, we must implement regular mainteance to make sure drains are clear and clean. Moreover, it has been proven that trees and soli conservation help reduce the risk of flooding. Lastly, we to need to stay aware and prepared! Education and awarenesss about these subjects is the most important thing we can do as a community.
