Abstract
The watershed of Zeuss-Koutine is situated in south-eastern Tunisia, north of the city of Medenine.
The region has experienced increasing anthropogenic pressure since the 1960’s, resulting in environmental
degradation manifested by natural vegetation cover reduction, overuse of water resources, and poor and
eroded soils. The SUMAMAD project focused on increasing groundwater recharge of depleted aquifers,
rehabilitation of degraded vegetation, future land use scenarios, and alternative income generation by adding
value to aromatic and medicinal plants and stimulating eco-tourism.
