EMPOWERS Partnership comes in the framework of the "Euro-Mediterranean Regional Water Programme for Local Water Management" (MEDA-WATER).

This Programme aims at the enhancement of regional co-operation in the areas of sustainable and integrated management of water resources. It also seeks to address the issues related to:

• water demand management and local water resources including the utilisation of non-conventional resources;
• prevention and mitigation of the negative effects of drought and water scarcity;
• irrigation water management; and
• preparation of national and local scenarios for the period until 2025 that enable precise objectives to be set and actions to be taken for sustainable water management.
