The project MEDDMAN is a transnational approach in the field of drought and water management involving competent national authorities, leading research institutes and regional authorities. The project's target is to develop an integrated system, capable of evaluating the state of surface water and groundwater resources in the MEDOCC regions. Under the general scheme of preserving and improving the economic growth, emphasis will be given to the development of efficient tools for sustainable water resources exploitation. Special attention will be drawn to the environmental impacts of extreme meteorological and hydrological events, which affect the means of development and best interest of the locals.
