The World Bank's worried about water.
It says by 2030, the Middle East and North Africa will have problems.
There won't be enough water.
For Tunisia, this is the fourth year with little rain.
The country has special centres or 'plants' for water.
These plants mean farmers can use old or dirty water.
Lotfi Atyaoui's a farmer.
Tunisia built its first plants for water in the 1970s.
Its first plant to change sea water started in 2018.
Today, it has 16 plants.
These plants give 6 percent of water for drinking.
94 percent comes from special lakes.
But these lakes are nearly empty.
So Tunisians need more of these water plants.
But the plants use lots of oil and gas.
That means they're bad for climate change.
The national water company – SONEDE – is building one plant.
We hope that, with technology, this will improve and that, with solar energy, we'll be able to mitigate the impact of energy consumption a bit."
Tunisia isn't the only county with water problems.
Many countries are building more plants.
This problem's here to stay.
