  abstract = {{P}esticides, particularly glyphosate ({GPS}) and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid ({AMPA}), are a global concern due to their potential to contaminate both surface and underground waters, leading to biodiversity and health impacts. {T}his work reviews the fate of {GPS} in {M}editerranean agrosystems and compares it to available information in {T}unisia. {T}he review concluded that countries along the southern {M}editerranean shore should anticipate increasing levels of water contamination from {GPS} use. {W}hile {GPS} treatments are relatively recent and less developed than those in northern {M}editerranean countries, northern {T}unisian pluvial cultivation occurs on soils with a p{H} > 8 due to the high calcite content and low {OM} content, which increase {GPS} mobility despite the high clay content. {H}igher temperatures could shorten the {GPS} half-life by 20%, but intense dryness may contradict this effect. {A} {T}unisian study surveyed cultivated fields in {B}izerte (north {T}unisia) and reported a range of 17-35 g ha(-1) of applied {GPS}, which is lower than the recommended authorized dose (4.32 kg ha-1). {H}ighlighting the lack of information about this molecule in {T}unisia, this study reviewed its behavior in southern {M}editerranean countries and offered several suggestions about water monitoring tailored to the {T}unisian context. {T}o prevent extensive water pollution, it is necessary to establish new legislation regarding pesticide monitoring, follow the phytosanitary practices of farmers, and suggest new water monitoring management strategies related to {GPS} and {AMPA}.},
