| Title | Water and wastewater recycling in the Mediterranean area |
| Abstract | Mediterranean countries are characterized by semi-arid climate, i.e. lack of natural water resources and scarce or uneven rainfall. Nevertheless, their economy is mainly based on irrigated agriculture. Moreover, in the pastdecades the developmentof local economies, poputatìon increase, and improper water management practiceshave resulted in severe exploitation and/or pollution of natural water resources' Climate change also contributed to reduce water availability. For all these reasons, water shortàge in Mediterranean countries has become a serious and pressing issue' ln particuìar, water stress greatly increases during the warmer season in the coastal areas,because of conflicting requirements due to tourism and agriculture' A recent reportof the EU Joint Reseàrch Centre showed that, during the period 1990-2010'in laige areas of Southern Europe the number of days per year with insufficient water for vegetation growth was higher than 90(JRC ,2012). |

IRSA CNR Mediterranean countries are characterized by semi arid climate, i.e. lack of natural water resources and scarce or uneven rainfall.

Moreover, in the pastdecades the developmentof local economies, poputation increase, and improper water management practiceshave resulted in severe exploitation and/or pollution of natural water resources Climate change also contributed to reduce water availability. For all these reasons, water shortage in Mediterranean countries has become a serious and pressing issue ln particuiar, water stress greatly increases during the warmer season in the coastal areas,because of conflicting requirements due to tourism and agriculture A recent reportof the EU Joint Research Centre showed that, during the period 1990 2010 in laige areas of Southern Europe the number of days per year with insufficient water for vegetation growth was higher than 90 JRC ,2012 . 2 85352 549 X Published version IrriMed 2015 Modern technologies, strategies and tools for sustainable irrigation management and governance in Mediterranean agriculture Valenzano Bari , Italy 23 25 settembre 2015 Internazionale Su invito Key note o lezione magistrale alfieri.pollice POLLICE ALFIERI |
