Developing a new ‘Water Culture’ for the Mediterranean

Mar 26, 2009 | Reaction to

“Water Culture” is central in addressing the current and future challenges in the Mediterranean. This needs to be recognized and supported widely through:

  • Revisiting, adapting and “renewing” century old practices, useful today and tomorrow
  • Enhancing the respect and restoration of old water “works” as learning devices and sources of creative inspiration
  • Changing the “mindset” –mostly through well articulated educational programmes with emphasis on ESD- about water supply and demand in the Mediterranean region
  • Promoting the application of technologies and practices which use and reuse water more efficiently and wisely.
