In this handbook you will get 30 good practice examples that have been identified within the WATER SUM project. It is a valuable tool for identifying relevant experience in the fields of climate change, drought management, water demand management, and communication and participation.
The handbook was prepared for the project “Sustainable Use of Transboundary Water Resources and Water Security Management” (WATER SUM), implemented by the REC with funding from the Government of Sweden.
A good practice is an initiative or project that has been successfully carried out and that is potentially replicable (in terms of methods, processes or even concrete measures) by other bodies facing similar climate change–related challenges.
The handbook is therefore a valuable tool for identifying relevant experiences in the fields of climate change, drought management, water demand management, and communication and participation. Examples of national and local projects have been collected not only from the MENA region, but also from areas with similar hydrometeorological and climatic conditions, in order to provide a wider range of potential options and to showcase local actions and transboundary/ international collaboration initiatives.
