The AGREEMed project aims to enhance aquifer governance for resilient water management and sustainable ecosystems in stressed Mediterranean agricultural areas by developing integrated aquifer management plans and demonstrating these in pilot areas in Morocco, Tunisia, and Jordan​.

This article reviews innovations in solar-powered desalination, focusing on sustainable solutions for water scarcity in the MENA region. It explores the integration of solar thermal and photovoltaic technologies with traditional desalination methods, addressing environmental impacts and proposing innovative solutions. Despite challenges, the adoption of renewable energy offers significant opportunities for water security in the region.

This article addresses the use of environmental tracers to help determine the origin of salinity and identify the recharge area. It establishes that investigating the Mean Residence Time of groundwater resources is essential, especially in arid regions. It also evaluates the efficiency of isotopic tracing in assessing the risk of groundwater contamination. The findings provide insights for stakeholders to promote more sustainable groundwater management in coastal areas.
