The site of the future WWTP has a relatively flat, sloping morphology, extending over an area
of around 3 ha.

Taoura is characterized by a Mediterranean climate with cold, rainy winters and dry, hot

3.1.1. Precipitation
Precipitation is a fundamental climatic factor that conditions seasonal runoff and directly
influences the regime of rivers and aquifers (DAVIDE, 1956).
I have noted the absence of a metrological station in the Taoura region, therefore I will use the
monthly rainfall values for the period (2003-2018) recorded at the Souk-Ahras metrological
station.

Rainfall amounts are shown in the following figure:
