The Community of the Mediterranean Universities (CMU) has published the
conclusions of its Workshop on “Water Management in the Mediterranean” held
in the city of Valencia, Spain, on 18 May 2007.
This workshop was organised by the Community of Mediterranean Universities
Council (CMU), in close collaboration with the International Relations
Department of the University of Valencia.
The first objective of the workshop was to give an overview on the water
management policies and tools in the Mediterranean and discuss how
Mediterranean countries are facing the problem of water shortage, as well as
their strategies to reach a sustainable development of this rare
resource.
It was also an objective of the workshop to present regional initiatives
working on water resources management issues and seek for the possible
collaboration and synergy between them and the different countries in order
to learn from success stories of each other.
The workshop was attended by representatives from twelve Mediterranean
countries, namely: Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine,
Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. The workshop was chaired by Prof.
Mohamed El-Muntasser (International Energy Foundation & the University
