Abstract

Tunisia is enriched by many natural resources (natural water and geothermal water) that are located along the South to the North. This paper aims mainly to evaluate the resources water potential. The available remote sensing images for two typical examples (SE Jeffara basin and Utique basin) are analyzed and many seismic profiles are interpreted to delineate the surface and subsurface structures. The 3-D structures of Mio-Plio-Quaternary and Upper Cretaceous aquifers in South-East of Jeffara basin show an important reservoirs of water resources. The Upper Cretaceous aquifer "Complexe Terminal" is one of the most typical examples of exploitation features in hydrogeological research. It is formed by fractured limestones.
