1-
In October, SEMIDE Technical Unit and IOWater
(International Office for Water) with the support of the Secretariat of the
Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) organized a workshop for exchanging
experiences on good practices and financing modalities of National Water
Information Systems and their exploitation for planning water resources
management in the context of climate change. It was realized that
Mediterranean water knowledge platform would support the preparation of
indicators responding to national strategies, to the Sustainable
Development Goals and to the water component of the Shared Environmental
Information System (SEIS) in the Mediterranean and finally, it would provide
evidence for the development and implementation of the Union for the
Mediterranean Water Agenda. Further information on

2- The participants of the Meeting of the
Great Rivers of the world at the International Rome Summit on "Water and
Climate" held on 23-25 October in Rome addressed in a declaration to the
Governments, international organizations, financial institutions and all the
involved stakeholders, who are taking part in the COP 23, the following
message: "Freshwater should be officially
recognized as a priority of the outcomes of the forthcoming Bonn COP 23,
especially by emphasizing the importance of adaptation measures alongside the
necessary mitigation ones. The attention of the Parties to the UNFCCC is drawn
to the significance of freshwater, which should be included into the first
priorities of the adaptation components of their National Contributions (NGCs).
It is necessary to support the achievement of the objectives of the "Paris
Pact" and the actions of the Alliances mentioned above, in a sustainable use
and management of water resources to face the climate change challenges." The
participants recommended to take priority actions in several issues in
particular in the strengthening of the production, gathering, conservation and
exchange of data within integrated Water Information Systems (WIS). Further

represented by the State Secretariat for Water of the Kingdom of Morocco, and
with the collaboration of other international partners, organized the
second edition of the event on 3-4 October in Marseille, France. The
conference serves as an interim event between CoPs to keep up the momentum for
water within climate discussions at CoP23 and beyond. As for the past edition,
the principle objective of the meeting was to mobilize and encourage a range
of political and institutional stakeholders to work together so that water
remains an important element of climate discussions within the UNFCCC’s 23rd
Conference of the Parties in November 2017, strengthening the dialogue between
the water and climate communities towards the implementation of the Paris
Agreement and Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. The program
offered special focuses on water for food, urban resilience, and water
for Africa within the context of climate change. Further information on EMWIS

16- On 13 September in Annaba, the Minister of Water Resources of Algeria, Hocine Necib, stated that "the diversification of water resources is essential for a secure supply." During his visit to the Les Salines pumping station, the minister insisted on the rehabilitation and the exploitation of surface water confirming that these actions constitute "a security in drinking water supply".The configuration of water supply networks is not secure enough and it needs to be taken seriously," said Mr.Necib. Further information on EMWIS website
17- The Minister of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries of Tunisia, Samir Ettaïeb, pointed out that the Gordian knot of any expansion of the agricultural sector is water scarcity. Tunisia suffers from a flagrant deficit of water, hence the in-depth work undertaken to overcome these deficiencies is building reliable and high-capacity dams. Mr. Ettaïeb also emphasized the role of the citizen, who must show a sense of civility and responsibility when it comes to water, not forgetting the use of drilling reservoirs to store rainwater (el majel). In addition, the minister urged public companies to pay their water bills to enable SONEDE to provide better benefits to citizens. He explained also that the other solution, advocated by his department, remains the desalination of seawater with the creation of new stations. Further information on EMWIS website
18- The city of Bucharest has selected a consortium composed of SUEZ, FCC and Aqualia to modernise the wastewater treatment plant and to build a treatment and sludge-to-energy plant in Glina, located south-east of the capital. The contract is worth 111 M euros for the consortium including 45 M euros for SUEZ. Further information on EMWIS website
19- Six projects aiming to facilitate the population’s access to drinking water in Romania will get total funds of 129 million euros from EU’s Cohesion Fund. The first project, worth 15.7 million euros, will be used to improve the wastewater treatment system in Bacau County, in east of Romania. Another 8.6 million euros will go to a project that aims to improve the access to clean water for more than 155,000 inhabitants in the Bistrita-Nasaud county, in northern Romania. A third project of 17.4 million euros will be used to connect 380,000 people to a modern water distribution and sewerage network in the Brasov county. Over 110,000 people in the Valea Jiului mining area, Hunedoara county, will also be connected to a modern water distribution and sewerage network, with 60.7 million euros funds. Some 8.2 million euros will go for the environment protection and better water quality project in the Tulcea county, near the Danube Delta, and 18.5 million euros will be used to extend the drinking water infrastructure in the Valcea county.

20- Portugal is facing the country's worst
drought in more than 20 years. The dire situation might lead to a ban on the
irrigation of farmland, which uses up 80 percent of the region's available
water. Portugal's Pego do Altar reservoir looks like disused
quarry now, its bare, exposed slopes rising up steeply on each side and
shimmering in the sun as it holds barely 11 percent of the water it was
designed for. The huge lake where people used to swim, boat and fish has
shrunk to a slither of water, surrounded by baked, cracked earth and a handful
of white fish carcasses. It is a desolate and disturbing sight – and one that
has become increasingly common in southern Portugal. Further information on EMWIS

21- PSA Antwerp (PSAA), MSC PSA European Terminal (MPET) and Antwerp Terminal Services (ATS) will invest 300,000 euros in the construction of three large tanks with a combined capacity of 240,000 litres to collect and store rainwater at the MPET, Europa and Noordzee terminals. Further information on EMWIS website
22- On 7 September 2017, Water-poor Jordan launched a project using seawater to produce crops with clean energy. Jordan's King, Abdullah II and Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, who contributed to most of the 3.7 million Dollars cost, inaugurated the facility in the kingdom's Red Sea port city of Aqaba. Haakon told reporters that he was impressed by the way innovative ideas have been translated into a plant the size of four football fields. The facility, part of the Sahara Forest Project (SFP), produces "energy, freshwater and food and all this in an arid desert," he said. Further information on EMWIS website
23- From a hillside in northern Jordan, the Yarmouk River is barely visible in the steep valley below, reduced from a once important water source to a sluggish trickle overgrown with vegetation. Jordan’s reservoirs are only one-fifth full, a record low, and vital winter rains are becoming more erratic. Jordanians don’t need scientists to tell them that they live in one of the world’s driest countries in the center of the planet’s most water-poor region. But addressing the problem would require cross-border cooperation, a commodity as scarce as water in the Jordan River basin shared with Israel, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon.

24- Hussein Gadain, representative of the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Egypt, announced in a press conference that a total of 99 wells are being dug in the Marsa Matrouh governorate to gain benefit from rainwater amid the water scarcity that Egypt is facing. The project is being implemented by the Desert Research Center, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Agriculture, in cooperation with FAO. Nine wells will be dug in each of the 11 municipal areas in the governorate. Further information on EMWIS website
25- One neighbourhood in Berlin is trying to ensure that cities can become better-adapted to the increasing likelihood of extraordinary wet weather events. The theory rests on the logical foundation that cities are inherently unnatural. By smothering the earth in concrete and tarmac and loading it up with vast structures of brick, steel, and glass, cities interfere with the way nature regulates itself. The concentration of buildings, people, and activity increases temperatures – while tarmac and concrete surfaces naturally absorb, retain, and emit heat, only pushing the mercury higher. On the aquatic side of the equation, unnatural, man-built road and pavement surfaces stop any falling water absorbing into the ground and then naturally providing moisture for soil and vegetation during dryer periods, while also evaporating to provide a kind of natural air conditioning. The area of Rummelsburg in the city’s east, was built 20 years ago and serves as an exemplary model of the ‘Sponge City’ concept – ‘Stadtschwamm’ in German. Further information on EMWIS website
26- The Senate adopted the proposed law to simplify some obligations applicable to local authorities in public drinking water sector on Thursday, 26 October, 2017. Further information on EMWIS website
27- Dealing with "qualitative or quantitative disruptions" in drinking water supply for populations is the purpose of the Orsec drinking water plan that departmental prefects are required to implement, or update, before December 31, 2020. Further information on EMWIS website
28- Nicolas Hulot, French Minister of State, Minister for the Ecological and Solidarity Transition, and Stéphane Travert, French Minister of Agriculture and Food, continue their commitment to the sustainable management of water resources in order to reduce the pressures on water and fully involve the territories in the water management policy. They announced the launch of a cell of expertise on water management in the agricultural sector under their joint authorities serving a mission to examine ongoing projects, identify the difficulties encountered and solutions that could improve the overall system as well as to improve the quality of projects and accelerate their implementation.
