Water demand management knowledge base in the Mediterranean
- The project WADEMED constitute an integrated knowledge base on
water demand management experiences, including the comparison of modern and
traditional irrigation techniques and their impact on effective irrigation
efficiency, the designing and implementing of economic instruments and their
impact on irrigated agriculture and the water resources, and new
institutional arrangements to associate water users associations to water
demand management.
- On each of these themes, an international seminar will be organised,
yielding proceedings and policy briefs. WADEMED will particularly promote
the dissemination of the acquired knowledge in the field of water demand
management. A bilingual web-site will de developed to share the information
to the general public A reference book will be edited to support this
effort.

| Objectives | -The aims of WADEMED are to establish a knowledge base on water demand
management. - It endeavours to: 1) synthesise and share existing experiences in the application of modern irrigation techniques, the shared management of irrigation systems, and in the application of water saving policies in the Mediterranean; 2) promote a common multidisciplinary framework for assessing the impact of improved irrigation technologies and water use efficiency policies in order to facilitate comparisons between case studies; 3) provide policy recommendations for improving new technologies acceptability and effective transfer; 4) favour the emergence of regional expert groups, who can be called upon by policy makers, managers, researchers and farmers' groups for the analysis and evaluation of water use efficiency policies and technologies; 5) disseminate to a larger public the acquired knowledge on water demand and use in irrigated agriculture in the Mediterranean. |
