Project Overview

General Project Information
Water Development Resources, Opportunity Policies for the Water Management in Semi-Arid
Areas
Project Title
Project Code
Acronym
WATERDROP
Summary
Population growth, rapid urbanization and industrialization, the expansion of agriculture and
tourism, as well as climate change are all factors which put water under increasing stress. The
scarcity of this vital resource for human and social development has placed water at the top of the
agenda of many Mediterranean countries. Most of the water problems are due to the
mismanagement of water resources and to the incoherency among different policies impacting
water conservation. In addition, the dialogue between water stakeholders, users and central
governments shall be fostered in order to ensure more integrated approaches to developing and
managing water resources.
To address these challenges, the Water-DROP project has been designed on the assumption that
the main issues to be tackled for efficient water management concern technical-methodological,
capacity-building, and normative aspects.
