What we want to achieve

In order to adress the problems resulting from the over-utilization of land and water resources, a new approach is needed.

Appropriate structures for the implementation of sustainable strategies have to be built up, developed and promoted, and respective national institutions or organisations as well as decision-makers on the community-level have to be made aware of these issues.

Due to its international character and expertise in groundwater and soil related issues, ACSAD is an ideal partner in the development and dissemination of integrated strategies for the conservation and sustainable management of land and water resources in the Arab Region.

The project's main objectives

to strengthen ACSAD's role as adviser for national institutions of the Arab region in groundwater- and soil-related issues.

to develop appropriate methodological tools and guidelines for the management, protection and sustainable use of groundwater and soil resources.

to disseminate the required technical know-how and raise awareness among specialists, decision makers and communities.
