INNOMED - Innovative Options for Integrated Water Resources Management in the Mediterranean

There is a need to achieve a better understanding of the interactions between land use and climate and their effect on water resources in order to improve long-term sustainable water use. This is specially relevant in areas such as the EU Mediterranean (EUM) region, which is a major climate change hotspot due to water scarcity, concentration of activities, and reliance on climate-sensitive resources. Irrigated agriculture is the largest (blue ) water user in the EUM, accounting for more than 50% of total water withdrawal, largely doubling the EU average.More
