Abstract :
The wind, among renewable energies, can play a important role for the water supply, irrigation of agricultural land and the generation of electrical energy. In fact, groundwater can be pumped using wind energy. This paper presents the perspectives of wind mechanical pumping in eight synoptic sites distributed at the Tunisian south. Map of Water Resources showed that Tunisia south is characterized by its aridity and the vulnerability of its land to desertification. Also, the study is interested at the energy evaluation of the wind turbine SEN 5000 P8. Based on its curve characteristic of power, we studied his energy profitability in the various sites.
