Abstract
Due to overexploitation, anthropogenic pollution, and climatic change during the Anthropocene and Great Acceleration, Tunisia has already witnessed a severe water crisis. Since they are the natural outlets of their hydrological and hydrogeological basins, wetlands are candidates to obviously display the radical change in water cycles related to anthropogenic activities. This chapter provides efficient methods to investigate water cycle modifications through the study of the water budgets within wetlands (Sidi El Hani Discharge Playa, Eastern Tunisia was taken as example). As concrete manifestation of this change, the dryness of in water springs or the decrease of their flows are concrete indicators of a real water crisis in Tunisia. In addition, salt consumption leads to a decreasing salinization.
