Publication: Water, a link to the Mediterranean identity
Water heritage in the Mediterranean region reflects the way rural and urban populations coped with the scarcity of water, and how they organised local structures around water management. Today, most of this heritage is unprotected, and recent developments, both societal and economic, threaten its survival.
An EU funded regional cooperation project – REMEE – is promoting the preservation of this historical legacy and intensifying public awareness among the citizens. Because water constitutes a living memory of Mediterranean society and its relationship with the environment, as a group of young volunteers in Algeria has just found out.
This is part of a series of features on projects funded by the EU’s Regional Programme, prepared by journalists and photographers on the ground or the ENPI Info Centre available in English, French and Arabic.
