Abstract
The chapter brings a brief overview of problems related to the sustainable water management in the Mediterranean area. It discusses some essential issues, such as (1) working for a culture of water saving, (2) institutional building, and (3) socioeconomic constraints related to the reuse of treated sewage waters outlining short- and long-term actions in several priority areas (drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, reuse of wastewater, and reuse of sewage sludge).
