In the framework of the ‘Water and Environment Suppor’ (WES) project in the Southern Neighborhood region, a Regional Activity focusing on ‘Water Harvesting including through retention & aquifer recharge with storm water’ (RW-4-REG) was organized involving designated participants representing different stakeholders from the WES Partner Countries (PCs), namely Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, and Tunisia.

Topics such as natural water retention, irrigation, floods, biodiversity, and climate change adaptation were addressed during this Activity, via a Regional Training and a Peer-to-Peer process for the exchange of experience between and among peers from relevant institutions in the Partner Countries.

The “Water and Environment Support” (WES) project is a regional project aiming to the implementation of an integrated approach to pollution reduction and prevention. It is also designed to contribute to a more efficient management of scarce water resources in the Southern Neighbourhood Region.
