where population dynamics, upgraded
standards of living, economic and
social development, and the use of
water-consuming technologies require
careful and continuous assessment of
models for water resources use.
Since agriculture is the major
consumer of water, the focus should
be turned towards increasing the
efficiency of water use in the
Mediterranean agricultural systems.
Hence, the aim of IRRI.MED.2015 is to
present the latest scientific and
technological achievements in the
irrigation sector and to offer a platform
for discussion and debate among
actors/stakeholders involved in the
management and governance of water
for agricultural use. Both scientific
research advancements on irrigation
practice
and
water
resources
governance topics will be covered in
the sessions of the Conference.
It is our pleasure to invite you to
actively participate in IRRI.MED.2015,
by proposing sessions, roundtables,
workshops, special events, technical
meetings, short courses as well as
social activities, promote the event,
and prepare presentations for it. We
invite you to save the date for taking
part at the Conference. The definitive
program of the Conference is now
under definition, so feel free to get in
touch with us for proposals and
suggestions.
The web-site of the Conference will be
soon available with info and updates
