HEADLINE
=================================================
1- The Mediterranean water community is in mourning, with the death of Hachmi Kennou. the Mediterranean loses one of its most fervent defenders. As Governor of the World Water Council, Hachmi advocated the importance of the Mediterranean regional process at the crossroads between European, African and Arab processes. After a long career at the National Tunisian Sanitation utility (ONAS), he became Director General of the Mediterranean Institute of Water (IME) in 2002, where he was the voice of Med water professionals. A facilitator and outstanding negotiator, who had no equal to bring together the actors even with competing opinions. We owe him the editions of the Mediterranean Water Forum and a strong commitment to Mediterranean Water Knowledge Platform, a joint initiative with OiEau, the EMWIS MENBO and IME, a project labeled by the Union for the Mediterranean.

BRIEF (Full news)
================================================
2- Initiated in Marrakech in 2011, then held in
Murcia in 2014 and Cairo in 2018, the Mediterranean Water Forum is
intended to be a regional event that brings together the main
stakeholders of the Mediterranean water community. Given its
specificity as an inter-continental crossroads, a water scarce region
and a hot spot of the effects of climate change, the Mediterranean
region is also a very dynamic platform with a large number of solutions
and experiences that can be shared during World Water Forum. This Med
Forum aims to present the Mediterranean as a hub of innovative water
management solutions which have been locally developed or adapted to
address the prevailing challenges of the region including those related
to climate change impacts. It will also outline how the
Mediterranean region is developing an integrated implementation
framework through the Union for the Mediterranean’s Water Agenda, while
also servicing other important political and technical regional and
sub-regional frameworks, which ensures that different water management
actions reinforce each other thereby providing a comprehensive solution
for evolving needs. In so doing, the forum will present the value
of the Mediterranean region in the development, adaptation and
implementation of effective and integrated water resources management
(IWRM) solutions. It will also showcase the replication potential of
these solutions to address emerging problems at a global scale,
including as a contributor to jobs, prosperity, stability and peace.
The 4th Mediterranean Water Forum will be held in Malta from December 6
to 8, 2021, linked to the Euro-INBO conference. Further information on EMWIS
website
3- The 19th “Europe-INBO” International Conference
will be held, back to back with the MED Water Forum, from
Wednesday 8th to Friday 10th of December 2021, this year at the
invitation of the Energy and Water Agency (EWA) of Malta. In order to
address current uncertainties regarding the evolution of the COVID19
pandemic and related travel restrictions, we are currently planning for
an online format. Organizations, administrations and other stakeholders
interested in Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) at basin
level are invited to participate in the event and share their
experiences throughout the sessions of Europe-INBO (where simultaneous
interpretation in English – French-Spanish will be available): Four
thematic sessions:
- Session 1. Engaging basin actors in the evaluation and evolution of
the Water Directives
- Session 2. Economic tools for basin management: integrating
environment and biodiversity in cost-recovery
- Session 3. Sustainable quantitative management of water resources
- Session 4. Special panel “International & transboundary
cooperation for basin management”

4- The 5th meeting of the UfM Task Force on Environment took
place on 28 May, bringing together country representatives and regional
stakeholders of the UfM environment agenda. The virtual meeting was
chaired by the UfM European and Jordan Co-Presidency, with the support
of the UfM Secretariat. It covered the following topics: Discussing the
priorities for action under the 2030 Greener Med Agenda, the new
proposed tool for regional integration and collaboration; Exploring the
opportunities for partnership and funding related to the 2030 Greener
Med Agenda in view of the ongoing programming; Defining the operational
modalities of the 2030 Greener Med Agenda; Showcasing and linking
regional key actions and related developments on (i) plastic within a
green circular economy approach (land and sea) and (ii) nature-based
solutions, with a focus on Wetlands and Marine Protected Areas.
On this occasion it was decided to: Elaborate a 2021 baseline
assessment for the 2030 Greener Med to show progress up to 2030; the
baseline assessment is based on the Greener Med Theory of Change and
will include an analysis of 2030 Greener Med contributions to the
Sustainable Development Goals through solutions and transformation
changes and strategies; Provide a regular update on the associated
projects and programmes (including regular monitoring briefs); Run an
intermediary evaluation of the UfM 2030 Greener Med Agenda in 2025 and
a final evaluation in 2030. Throughout the thematic assessments of the
three priority areas, different organizations and programmes provided
insights on the status of their work and important new developments
with regards to ecosystems and biodiversity (FAO/UN Environment
Programme (UNEP), MEDWET, SPA RAC/UNEP Mediterranean Action Plan), as
well as with regards to regional actions on plastic prevention and
management within a circular approach (land and sea) (WES, SwitchMed,
Interreg Med Green Growth Community, Plastic Busters, BLUEMED).
On education for sustainable development, it was highlighted that the
2022 UNESCO Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Conference will
be on ‘circular economy, sustainability and tourism’ and will take
place in the Mediterranean. In closing, the co-presidency highlighted
how encouraging such a wide range and diversity of initiatives is, and
stressed how important it is to create stronger links among
stakeholders to address the many challenges of the Mediterranean.

7- Attacks on water and sanitation facilities and workers in
conflicts around the world continue to put the lives of millions of
children at risk and deny children and families access to critical
water and sanitation services, UNICEF warned on May 24. In the 9
countries highlighted in Water Under Fire Volume 3: Attacks on water
and sanitation services in armed conflict and the impacts on children –
including countries across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe –
almost 48 million people, including children, are estimated to need
safe water and sanitation services. Protecting water and sanitation
services is critical to the survival of millions of children. In
fragile countries, children under the age of five are 20 times more
likely to die due to diarrheal diseases than to violence, and children
in extremely fragile contexts are often more than eight times worse off
across the water, sanitation, and hygiene indicators than children born
into stable and protected environments. The report examines the immense
impact on children and families when water and sanitation
infrastructure is attacked, damaged or destroyed, controlled or
otherwise restricted in countries besieged by armed conflict. It
highlights that children’s access to water has been threatened in
nearly every conflict-related emergency where UNICEF is
responding. Further information on EMWIS

14- Sustain-COAST
project has published recently a new public deliverable presenting
the main activities on "cost efficiency and cost-benefits of
selected preventive scenarios". Efforts were spent to identify the
costs & benefits of the use of water resources and to mitigate
groundwater depletion and degradation in each case study of the four
Sustain-COAST demonstration sites. The choice of the appropriate
mitigation technique in each case study mainly depends on the site
conditions. This task is presented as a pilot for each demonstration
site and will be updated in part b (D3.3b), considering local data and
the final suggestions by all stakeholders in each case study. To this
end, the full cost-benefit methodology is presented, and the optimal
options for managed use of groundwater and surface water is presented
for each case study. The mapping of those options is a dynamical
process will be adjusted over the course of the project, where key
stakeholders can be added at a different stage to enrich the
multi-stakeholder participatory process. The provided information will
give insights into assessing the sustainability of the current and
future groundwater management strategies. This analysis will identify
the impact of the adequate mitigation option considering sustainable
water resources availability, management, and pollution risks. You can
download the deliverable here.
15- The PROSIM project (ENI-CBC Med) will implement evaporation
pan in Jordan as an irrigation scheduling solution allowing farmers to
evaluate local evaporation and water to be supplied to crops. Combined
with other irrigation technologies implemented by the PROSIM Project,
35 farmers will directly benefit from the implementation of evaporation
pan systems and will cover 11.5 ha of vegetables on open field and 20
greenhouses. These implemented technologies will serve as demonstration
plots to be used to ensure knowledge transfer to 80 participants among
representatives of farmers associations and water usage associations.

employed ECS to address a specific societal challenge in their city in
a way that inspires others and advances existing ECS practices and
knowledge in their city and beyond. 2- Most innovative social
engagement process: This award seeks to identify and give visibility to
innovative processes for engaging with and empowering citizens and
particularly hard-to-reach socially disadvantaged individuals and
communities through ECS. 3- Best overall Edible City approach: This
award aims to recognize holistic city-wide initiatives or policies for
tackling societal challenges through ECS in an integrated and
sustainable manner that enables the generation of multiple long-term
benefits for the city. Applications will be evaluated based on the
following criteria: Innovation, Relevance, Inclusivity, Impact and
Upscaling & Replication. For more information about the EdiCitNet
Awards please click here.
17- In the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, the Investitions-Bank Schleswig-Holstein (IB.SH) will become a network partner of the European Investment Advisory Hub (EIAH). On 27 May 2021, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and IB.SH signed an agreement to provide municipalities with free consultancy services in support of infrastructure projects. The municipalities will receive 500,000 euros in funds for this purpose from the EIAH's Call for Proposals to National Promotional Banks and Institutions. IB.SH will provide advisory services to municipalities to help them plan and develop sustainable and financially viable projects, as well as give them support in obtaining financing. Additionally, the support will include information exchange and capacity building for municipal governments. Further information on EMWIS website
18- The loan agreement between the European
Investment Bank (EIB) and the Office national de l’électricité et de
l’eau potable (ONEE) was signed on June 23rd, 2021. The 37.5 million
euros loan will be used to build new drinking water supply
infrastructure in the Kingdom, mainly in rural aeas. This loan is
complementary to an initial financing granted to Morocco in 2019, as
part of ONEE’s 2019-2023 capital plan for the “water” activity. The
Moroccan public body plans to rehabilitate and expand the capacity of
drinking water production and distribution facilities in several
localities in Morocco. In the kingdom, water availability is less than
1,700 m3 per year per person, according to the World Resources
Institute (WRI). This situation places Morocco on the list of states
with “high water stress”. This phenomenon is a consequence of drought,
caused by climate change. Further information on EMWIS
website
20- The Water-Food-Energy-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus approach offers solutions that can reconcile potentially conflicting interests as they compete for the same scarce resources, while capturing existing opportunities and exploring emerging ones. When successfully applied, Nexus solutions can lead to the enhancement of water, energy and food security, while preserving ecosystems and their functions, importantly also in transboundary river basins. A range of cross-sectoral solutions, from infrastructure to integrated strategic planning frameworks, to address resource management tradeoffs were discussed on 26 May 2021, at the meeting on “Nexus Solutions and Investments in the Western Balkans”, co-organised by UNECE, Global Water Partnership Mediterranean (GWP-Med), and the European Investment Bank (EIB). Some 50 participants analysed enabling conditions for impactful Nexus investments and explored the participatory identification of concrete Nexus applications in the Drin and Drina River Basins. River Basin Organizations can play a key role in facilitating a cross-sectoral dialogue that is needed to develop water investments and to develop “nexus proofed” master plans.

21- How to accelerate the deployment of seawater desalination plants in Egypt? The question was at the centre of discussions recently between several senior Egyptian government officials. In addition to the reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation, Egypt is accelerating the deployment of seawater desalination plants in coastal governorates. The aim is to find an alternative to the dwindling freshwater resources. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi has asked his team to prioritise the installation of future desalination plants.

22- Low rainfall, dams filling rate that has been decreasing for months, insufficient storage infrastructures, is Algeria in a situation of water stress? For several weeks now, the country has been facing difficulties in supplying drinking water. Water reserves are dwindling. The water tables and dams, fed mainly by rainfall, are drying up. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, the national average filling rate of dams is about 44%. Interviewed by Arab News in French, Ahmed Kettab, consultant and international expert in the field of water resources and the environment, said that Algeria has a global usable water potential not exceeding 12.3 billion m3 (surface water), or an annual volume of 280 m3 per capita per year. "With the multiannual allocation of surface water (dams), groundwater resources in the North and South, and the desalination of sea water, we currently have around 18.2 billion m3 per year, or 450 m3 per inhabitant per year. In 1962, we had 1500 m3. Algeria is therefore largely affected by water stress, and is below the theoretical scarcity threshold set by the World Bank at 1000 m3 per capita per year," he explains.
