PRODIM: Objectives
Is….
a transnational cooperation project
Aims at…
formulating a methodological framework to confront drought and water
shortage in the islands and coastal areas of the Mediterranean

identification of areas under high water scarcity risk

estimation of anticipated impacts of water shortage

preparation of both a strategic water shortage
preparedness plan & an emergency plan

case studies implementation

validation & customisation of proposed plans
