The Mediterranean water community is very sad, we lost a great man, Walter Mazzitti passed away last weekend. He guided EMWIS for so many years, from the launch of the initiative in Naples in December 1997, as President of the Steering Committee until 2002 and then again from 2008 to 2014, then he was appointed Honorary President. From 2007 to 2009, he was also president of MENBO, the Mediterranean Network of Basin Organizations. So many years and so many memories! A man of honor and conviction, he defended the place of water at the highest political level in his country, Italy, at the Mediterranean scale within the Euromed Partnership and the Union for the Mediterranean, as well as in the framework of Middle East peace process. We all owe him a lot. |
