Introduction It gives me great pleasure to announce that the 12th Tunisian-Japanese Symposium on Science, Society and Technology (TJASSST 2013), held from the 15th to the 18th of November, 2013 at Hammamet in Tunisia, was a resounding success, with over 295 participants from Tunisia, Japan, Algeria, Philippines, Pakistan and Bangladesh, China and Brazil attending attending. On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, I would like to express our gratitude for the support of the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the Centre of Biotechnology of Borj Cedria (CBBC), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), the Alliance for Research on North Africa (ARENA), the North African and Mediterranean Center for Research and Education (CANMRE), the University of Tsukuba, Water Researches and Technologies Centre (CERTE), National Center of Researches in Materials Sciences (CNRSM), Research and Technology Center of Energy (CERTen), Centre of Biotechnology of Sfax (CBS), University of Tunis El Manar and some local pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies, and associations, whose generous contributions made the success of this meeting possible. The objective of this symposium is to contribute to a sustainable development and to promote international scientific exchanges between Tunisia and Japan through the strengthening of a multidisciplinary research network. The TJASSST 2013 consisted of seven sessions including the Life Science, Food and Agriculture (Session I), Environment (Session II), Energy and Materials (Session III), Mathematics & ICT (Session IV), Management and Innovation (Session V), Humanities & Social Sciences (Session VI), and SATREPS (Session VII), plenary and keynote lectures, and poster sessions. A team in the Scientific Committee selected six outstanding posters from all posters presented at the symposium. The winners were announced at the closing ceremony on Sunday, November 17th, 2013, and received the Best Poster Award. We are also proud to announce that, with the aim of making the fruits of this very productive symposium available to the entire international scientific

community, we have undertaken the publication of six volumes (session per volume) of proceedings. These proceedings include full text of 150 articles by authors affiliated primarily with university and government based laboratories.

Abstract The use of rainwater stored in tanks at home can present some risks especially when it used as a drinking water or sanitary purposes. Therefore, the current work was conducted to study the effect of pollution on water stored in cisterns. Governorate of Sfax was selected as study area because this governorate is characterized by heavy pollution and degradation of air quality due to the development of air polluting industries. Bacteriological and physic-chemical analyses were made on 50 samples to study the effect of environmental pollution on this water. The results of these analyses show that the use of rainwater in homes presents some health risks associated with microbiological contamination such as high levels of fecal coli forms and Escherichia coli. This depends on the contamination of the roof with animal waste, the disinfection of the water and the frequency of liming roof .About 17 (34% ) are compliant with quality drinking water standards of World Health Organization “WHO”, and 33 ( 66%) non-compliant for the uses indicated by households. Regarding the physic-chemical quality, it depends on the environment, air quality, climate and liming roof. For

Finally, it appears that the quality of rainwater collected in cisterns may be improve regularly with maintaining filtration devices and respecting the rules of hygiene Keywords : Rainwater, collection, tank, purification, analysis 1. Introduction Tunisia receives an average water volume of 36 billion m3 of annual rainfall while the potential of water (surface and ground water) is 4.570 billion m3(source). The confrontation between water demand and needs, growing from one year to another, shows a deficit. To address this deficit, a strategy based on research of unconventional resources and water conservation has been adopted.In this context we seek today to save, recover and reuse rainwater that appear to have interesting potential. The objective of the study is to characterize the quality of rainwater stored in tanks. Analysis were conducted in the laboratory of the Regional Directorate of Health in Sfax and in the laboratory of the School of Engineering of Sfax «ENIS ". 2. Methods The experimental study was conducted over 3 months (March 1-May 27th 2013). It focused on the analysis of key biological and physic-chemical parameters of 50 water stored in tanks in the governorate of Sfax by scanning a radius of 15 km from the city of Sfax for rain samples. We were counted the number of germ (CT, CF, SF and EC) in the water tank by the most probable number method “MPN”.

Regarding the methods of physicochemical analysis, we chose just 25 samples from the total numbers of samples (50), this choice is based on the values of electrical conductivity: we tried to measure the amounts of chloride and sulfate samples which are characterized by high electrical conductivity, these anions were analyzed by ion chromatography -high pressure ,we used the same way to measure the amount of nitrate and then we made a measurements of lead by atomic absorption spectrometry with flame and finely we measured a fluoride ion with a selective electrode. 3. Results and Discussion After comparing results obtained for the elements analyzed with NT.09.14 and WHO standards we can conclude that most of the water tanks in the governorate of Sfax are contaminated, this is essentially bacteriological contamination: it is manifested by high levels of fecal coli forms and Escherichia coli (more than 48 % of total samples contain EC) 3.1. Bacteriological analysis results For bacteriological results of a total of 50 samples of rainwater collected, 17 samples corresponding to 34% are consistent with quality drinking water standards of “WHO” and 33 samples (66%) are not-compliant for the uses indicated by households (Figure 1).

Physic-chemical analysis results Regarding the physic-chemical analyzes all samples are consistent with” WHO” standards, although there is a variation between the values due to the spatial variations of samples (table1).
