The Institut Méditerranéen de l’Eau (IME: Mediterranean Water Institute) is a French association created in Rabat, Morocco, in 1982, bringing together members involved in water issues in the Mediterranean. The IME includes all levels of stakeholders: local and regional authorities, ministerial bodies, professionals (public and private) and individuals with expertise.

The Institute is an expert network in the Mediterranean grouping institutional and technical operators in the water domain. It provides a forum for exchanging information and know-how and for meetings and discussions between the various operators. Its work covers several domains: climate, irrigation and drainage, hydrology and hydrogeology, water supply and treatment, wastewater purification and recycling, continental water protection (surface and groundwater), and aquatic environment development.

The International Network of Basin Organizations (INBO) is a non-profit association under French law, created in 1994 and based in Paris. It has 192 Members from 88 countries, organized into Regional networks to encourage exchanges based on specific geographical contexts. The International Office for Water (OiEau) is in charge of its Permanent Technical Secretariat.

The INBO’s objectives are to develop permanent relations with river basin management stakeholders; promote sound water management in cooperation programmes; facilitate implementation of institutional and financial management, programming, data banks, and model development tools; promote information and training programmes in water management; encourage population education (especially for the youth); and, evaluate ongoing actions and disseminate their results.
