Efficient Management of Wastewater, its Treatment and Reuse in the Mediterranean Countries » EMWATER «
Water shortage is currently one of the biggest concerns of human being worldwide and it becomes a global problem that affects seriously the lives of high numbers of the world population. According to the Kyoto summit in 2003 two billion people will not have access to safe drinking water supplies in the year 2015. The Mediterranean region belongs to the most affected countries in the world.
The EMWATER partners’ aim is to create awareness of innovative solutions in wastewater treatment and its reuse and support the installation of new technologies of wastewater management. Experts from the field, decision-makers and interested citizens and civil organisations have to be involved to reduce the water shortages in the Mediterranean Region.
The primary outcome of the project will be to install and to increase efficiency and effectiveness in the management of wastewater, its treatment and reuse in Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine.
Though the project is limited in time to 48 months, starting in 2003 and ending in 2007, the measures it aims to implement are designed to create long-term, positive effects in the region. |
