  EMWIS Technical Unit announces the launch of its new multilingual international web portal (in English, French and Arabic). This new site which has an improved design and navigation scheme, allows a flexible integration of content and heterogeneous applications (using Internet standards such as xml or web services). It is based on the open source content management system developed for and used by the European Environment Agency for most of its websites applications. You will find the usual EMWIS information on legislation, who does what, monthly news flash, etc., plus new sections such as a multilingual water thesaurus and glossary, a database of water projects, an outline of the main Mediterranean initiatives related to water, etc. EMWIS and its partners are progressively loading more material onto the new website to provide essential water information at both international and national levels.
