Objective
In most of Mediterranean developing countries, although a number of research projects has been developed for increasing the crop water use efficiency (WUE), the results were not translated in practice both for the difficulties in the spreading of the ideas and for the inadequacy of the issues to the Mediterranean agriculture reality. Also the knowledge coming from research remains confined in the research world and is not shared by the final users. Therefore, the target of this project is to establish a ne t of research institutions, farmers and stakeholder organisations in Mediterranean and southern Europe countries, for studying new methodology of evaluation the water use efficiency in order to improve the water management at regional scale.
The project workplan has been designed and structured in order to meet with the above target, through the organisation and implementation of two major events:
(1) the Euro-Mediterranean workshop and
(2) two post-workshop seminars of training of trainers to booster dissemination of workshop results.
In addition, the overall workplan includes building a common and regional knowledge regarding development of research results, and the creation of a common reference frame for collecting the data needed for the evaluation of the indicators of WUE in Mediterranean area. A new WEB site devoted to the WUE at Mediterranean scale will be the favourite way to link all the actors of the water management at regional scale: decision makers, stakeholders, farmers, technician and end-users.
The participants to this project have been chosen in order to assure a rational coordination (ISA-Bari, Italy, a research institute of southern Europe), a good knowledge of the Mediterranean realty (USEK Lebanon and INRA Morocco) and an excellent spreading of the results both at Mediterranean scale (IAM Bari, Italy) and southern Europe (ITAL-ICID Rome, Italy).
