Background information

The aim of the ISIIMM project is to share experiences, knowledge and build new perspectives for sustainable water management in Mediterranean agriculture systems. We propose to work on 12 specific well documented case studies inside river basins in 6 different Mediterranean countries, involving local partners, water users, citizens, development agents, researchers, teachers and administrations in building new visions and agreements for the sustainable management of water resources. With a primary objective to help local rural communities adapt to the emerging problems resulting from pressures on the water supply, two priorities will guide programmed activities: working with local irrigation organisations and working with the professionals of development. ISIIMM project is part of the European MEDA programme born as result of the Euro-Mediterranean Ministerial Conference on Local Water Management, Turin, 18-19 October 1999.
