Euro-Med Partipatory Water Resources Scenarios

Water Rights and Responsibilities
Go Hand-in-Hand

Participation in decision making and management of water resources are the main focus of the Euro-Med Participatory Water Resources Scenarios project (EMPOWERS), a 4-year regional water project that is being implemented in Egypt, Jordan and Palestine.

EMPOWERS is a unique project

It improves long-term access to water

by vulnerable populations.

It applies a variety of planning and technical approaches

within a pilot situation to enhance and document

the process of decision-making in local water management.

It raises water rights issues within a process

that fosters dialogue.

EMPOWERS has an inherent horizontal and vertical participation strategy that brings together stakeholders at different levels to discuss water resource management in all its aspects.

EMPOWERS is sending a clear message that water users have the right to participate in decision-making regarding the present and future management of water and other resources.
