MENBO is a Regional Network within INBO (International Network of Basin Organisations) that promotes an integrated water resources management at the river basin level, as an essential tool for sustainable development. This organisation seeks to improve relationships among organisations in charge of water management in the Mediterranean region.

This website includes information, events and documents from other organisations and agencies related to water management, and promotes the exchange of knowledge among these. Most of the events announced, are thus from other sources, and include links to their websites.

The Regional Network was established in 2003, and is currently adding international members from the Mediterranean region. We hope this network will grow stronger with the support and collaboration from most of the Mediterranean countries that deal with river basin management.

MENBO celebrated its 9th Liaison Bureau Meeting and the 6th Members Assembly on the occasion of the EURO-INBO Conference in Sibiu, Romania 1st of October 2008.

Find here the presentation given, with all information about the Mediterranean Network of Basin Organisations.
