Water withdrawal by capita - Period 2008 - 2017 (MSSD indicator 13)

Overall the evolution of in water demand is alarming in the Mediterranean due to the scarcity of the resource. Better water demand management, especially for agriculture, is one of the priority actions recommended by the Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development. This means stabilizing water demand (decrease in the north and a controlled increase in the south and the east). Mediterranean water withdrawals will be increasingly affected by climate change in multiple ways. Sustainable management of water resources, already under severe pressure in the region, will be more challenging.

source_abstract	Total water demand is defined as the sum of the volume of water mobilized to meet the various uses, including the quantities lost in production, transport and use of water. It corresponds to the sum of the water withdrawals, of non-conventional production (desalination, reuse of water, etc.) and of imports less exports. Water productivity is an indication only of the efficiency by which each country uses its water resources. Given the different economic structure of each country, this indicator should be used carefully, taking into account a country's sectorial activities and natural resource endowments.
