Annex of the water monitoring working group report

One of the first objectives of the water monitoring working group of the Joint Process between the EU WFD and Med-EUWI is to describe the status of water monitoring networks and programmes in Mediterranean Partner countries. In this framework, between April and September 2009, EMWIS, with support of Aquapôle, has carried out a survey among water authorities in the Mediterranean Partner countries. This summary transcribes the answers to the questionnaire such as they were sent to us by EMWIS after a first consolidation work. It includes answers from 11 countries (Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey) which took part in this questionnaire. This summary is intended to be as close as possible to the original information and texts. We are aware that some answers would require further information either because they are incomplete, or because they are not sufficiently specific. The workshop held in Beirut on 6 October 2009 allowed a 1st exchange of experiences, some clarifications on country replies and provided some examples of monitoring networks.
