3 Web database Web database will contain the identified solutions/tools for managing environmental problems related to water stress issues in the Med islands; in particular, the construction needs, functioning, performances and sector of application of each solution/tool will be reported in the database in relation with specific water problems encountered in Med islands and with the assessment of local reference frameworks. web database will be regularly updated when new solutions and/or further insular needs will show up;

4 Advisory platform implementation of a permanent (web-based) advisory platform, managed by the partnership, and aimed to support Med islands key actors when planning water resources management through continuously updated master plans and supporting their adoption by islands policies. It is a tool for continuous implementation and updating of local master plans and with an advisory function for the governments of the islands. It is permanent instrument of the network to monitor exigencies of territory (by key-actors forum) and to support the decision-making procedures of the Competent Authorities In the advisory platform will be possible receive feedbacks and technical questions/needs from local Authorities of Med islands and provide them advices and solutions.

16 Agricultural (irrigation) Industry Environmental water Definition: In the Med Islands, water for irrigation is used for a number of purposes, including watering in: 1. Agriculture 2. Landscaping 3. parks 4. Private gardens and golf courses Landscaping Although the natural landscape of the Med Island corresponds to the rain available throughout the year, due to the need to offer green areas for tourism activities and people s demands, several types of irrigation are practiced with the main aim to sustain greener vegetation or create different environments than usual. parks The present urbanism is asking for green spots or great extensions in populated areas. There are several reasons for this implementation: people perceptions, temperature reduction, shadow in summertime Due to the implementation of vegetation in zones where water cannot reach soils in adequate amounts for plants to grow normally, complementary amounts of water are to be supplied. Among the plants: trees and fences in streets, small parks and playing fields, great urban parks Private gardens and golf courses There is a growing demand in the urbanized areas of the Med Islands for watering private gardens, especially those which employ grass. Although this type of vegetation does not correspond to the typical plant cover of the area, the tourism demands for hotel and private gardens, swimming pools surroundings and other areas a plant green color corresponding to northernmost countries. It is heavily counseled to encourage the implementation of vegetation more adapted to the climatic conditions; i.e. grass types more typical from the Mediterranean climate and whose demand for water resources is lower. Golf courses are one of the main economic drivers in several regions of the Mediterranean, contributing to enlarge the tourism season and attract quality visitors. Golf courses need important amounts of water (up to 2,500 m3/day) comparable in terms of quantity with the one of several crops. Nevertheless, the return in terms of economic benefit is greater.

Available selected papers and/or deliverables Summary The Project has established experimental ponds in Portugal and Tunisia; to determine the most appropriate and cost effective method at trapping the heat from the sun in order to kill faecal coliforms In Jordan, to determine the most appropriate method of isolating helminth eggs from wastewater without harming them. In the laboratory, to establish the critical die off time temperature combinations. To test the effectiveness of the treatment technique in Jordan, Tunisia and Portugal by : monitoring faecal coliform numbers and viable helminth eggs in the effluent from the trial ponds; investigating beneficial influence of other factors; monitoring long term viability of the helminth eggs in the soil by the application of treated wastewater to selected crops in trial beds and periodically taking soil samples. To identify any practical constraints to the use of the technique on a larger scale; Workshop for participating partners on "Pathogen assessment for wastewater reuse" with training on helminth identification and viability testing.
