Final Seminar for "Mediterranean Water Data System" Project
Three major water actors in the Mediterranean have joined their efforts in building a regional project about water information, following the Euro-Mediterranean Water Ministerial meeting in Jordan in 2008: the Ministry of Energy & Water of Lebanon, the League of Arab States and the Euro Mediterranean Water Information System network (EMWIS). Acting as a consortium, they have developed a project proposal called “Mediterranean Water Data System” aiming at building modern tools for the water resources planners, including training or regional compatible guidelines as well as strengthening national water quantity and water quality data bases within the countries. In a first phase, the project will be developed in five pilot countries which have started remarkable actions: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia.
The consortium has requested support from the Union for the Mediterranean Secretariat in order to bring this project toward labeling by the UfM Senior Officials as a UfM promoted project; The preparatory work has been conducted thanks to EMWIS and the project proposal needs now to be finalized by clarifying the next steps towards labeling and implementation, including the funding issue, communication and project management aspects as well as the synergies and coordination among the stakeholders.
To this end and in agreement with the consortium, the UfM Secretariat will organize this meeting that will take place in its premises in Barcelona.
