    abstract = {For a long time, the governance of water
resources in oases presents great challenges for local and
national stakeholders with the consideration of economic,
social and environmental importance of this complex
ecosystem. So, it’s very important to understand its
behavior under current and future climate change
conditions. This study focuses on diagnosing, identifying,
characterizing and capitalizing the most practices of
irrigation water management in the Tunisian oasis and
selecting the best among them and to disseminate it in the
oasis communities through workshops, field days and
school days. The most capitalized best practices found
during this study are: community governance of irrigation
water distribution in the oases of El Guetar, valorization
of the oasis heritage through the labialization SIPAM
(case of the historic Oases of Gafsa), Improved gravity
irrigation Basin system under date palm in the Oases, the
sandy amendment at the level of oasis agricultural parcels,
gravity Bubbler irrigation system in date palm groves and
magnetic treatment of irrigation water and mixing of
irrigation waters to improve their qualities.}
