Harvesting Rainwater — An Obvious Choice

Ethic Village Djerba — Résidence de villas avec piscine privée à Djerba

In Tunisia, water is precious. Djerba, a Mediterranean island with a semi-arid climate, experiences dry spells that make every drop count. At Ethic Village Djerba, harvesting rainwater is not an ecological trend — it is common sense and a duty.

Why water recovery matters in Djerba

Djerba faces regular water cuts, especially in summer when demand peaks. Standard rentals suffer these cuts with no solution. At Ethic Village Djerba, we invested in a softened water reserve that guarantees supply 24/7 — even when the mains run dry.

Our water management Detail
Softened water reserve Supply guaranteed 24/7, soft and limescale-free
Pool water recovery Dechlorinated water reused for garden irrigation
Drip irrigation Timed outside peak heat to limit evaporation
Zero waste Every litre counts — the Prophet ﷺ taught us not to waste water, even by a flowing river

Water in Islam: a responsibility

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Do not waste water, even if you make wudu by a flowing river.” This hadith guides our approach. Water is a gift from Allah — wasting it goes against our values.

The concept of khalifah (mankind as custodian of the earth) demands responsible resource management. This is not green marketing — it is what our faith asks of us.

What this means for you

As a guest at Ethic Village Djerba, you will experience zero water cuts. While other rentals on the island lose their shower and pool, your villa continues running normally. It is one of our premium advantages — and one of the most valued by families.
