  • Description:
    Aquifers are a critical component of the water cycle, the ecosystems, and the socio-economic systems; especially on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, where water resources are limited and unevenly distributed in space and time. Some countries receive a mere 10% of the local total annual average rainfall. In such a complex region, where aquifers are influenced by population growth, climate change, and environmental changes, it is increasingly important to enhance, manage and sustain services derived from aquifers and the groundwater. Resilient water management, preservation of ecosystems, and sustainable agricultural development in water-stressed Mediterranean basins are possible if the area’s specific portfolio of solutions and practices is designed and implemented in a participatory approach as proposed by the AGREEMed project.
