Tunisia is cutting off water supplies to citizens for seven hours a night. The extreme measure is a response to the country's worst drought on record.
The water will be cut off daily from 9pm until 4am, with immediate effect, state water distribution company SONEDE said in a statement on Friday.
The country's agriculture ministry earlier introduced a quota system for drinking water and banned its use in agriculture until 30 September.
