This article analyzes the efficiency of Water Users Associations (WUA) in the Cap Bon region(Tunisia) and studies its main determinants. The analysis is performed in two stages. First, theefficiency is measured via the nonparametric “Data Envelopment Analysis” (DEA) technique. TheDEA models...

The paper aims to investigate the economies of scale of Water Users’ Associations (WUA) inTunisia. During the last years there has been a lot of discussion in Tunisia about the optimal sizeof WUAs, which allows more efficient management of the water resources at the local level. Inthis work we...

We measure the technical efficiency of unheated greenhouse farms in Tunisia, and propose a measure for irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) using an alternative form of the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. Technical efficiency measures the degree to which (all) farm inputs are used...
