Abstract
The Medjerda catchment in Tunisia, as the only permanent waterway, has a high density of rainfall and discharge network gauges in the country. The problem of data quantity was often discussed, however, the quality is not documented in our knowledge. The data quality affects directly the hydro-climatic model’s quality and the projected strategic adaptation and mitigations in the country. The main purpose here is to answer the following questions: *can we quantify the uncertainty in the gauges within the Medjerda? *What are the causes for these errors and which of them have the most influence on the data quality?
