Abstract

Abstract: (french)
Les disponibilités en eau utile ont beaucoup diminué dans le Grand Sousse (sahel tunisien), du fait de l’évolution rapide des modes de production et de consommation dont l’une des principales manifestations a été l’explosion de la consommation des ressources en eau. Cet accroissement de la demande strictement biologique va de pair avec celui de la demande de l’agriculture irriguée et des usages urbains (domestiques, industries et tourisme). Le présent travail a pour objectif d’identifier les différents types d’usagers qui se disputent une même ressource, et leur implantation dans un même espace littoral fragile et davantage fragilisé. Il s’agit donc là à la fois d’une étude diachronique qui s’appuie au préalable sur une recherche bibliographique, et tout particulièrement sur des rapports d’activités renseignant sur l’évolution des principaux secteurs abordés (population, tourisme, industrie, agriculture). Par ailleurs, l’étude s’est portée sur l’évolution de la demande en eau pour ces mêmes secteurs, à travers l’acquisition d’une base de données de la consommation en eau par types d’usagers, et la représentation cartographique de ces données. C’est notamment l’élaboration de cartes thématiques, à travers un système d’information géographique, qui a largement contribué à illustrer ces dynamiques spatiales et ces conflits d’usages, tout en mettant en exergue les défis à relever dans la gestion et l’allocation sectorielle des ressources en eau.
